Question

In SQL Server, you need to check error for each SQL statement. For example if I have 3 updates in one transaction, I need some code like:

declare @HasError int
begin tran
Update tab1 set ....
Set  @HasError = @@error;
Update tab2 set ...
Set  @HasError = @@error;
Update tab3 set ...
Set  @HasError = @@error;

If @HasError<>0
  rollback tran;
else
 commit tran;

Any other solution for this case with more simple code? for instance, something like c# style:

   begin tran
    try
    {
      Update tab1 set ....    
      Update tab2 set ...
      Update tab3 set ...
      commit tran;
    }catch(error){
       rollback tran;
    }
