Question

My simple question is, can I put Create/Alter Table, Procedure, Column, Views, etc statements inside Transaction? What I mean is this? Will the below statements be valid?

BEGIN TRANSACTION [Tran1]
BEGIN TRY
    --CREATE ALTER Table Procedure 
    --CREATE ALTER Table Procedure 
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
    ROLLBACK TRANSACTION [Tran1];
    DECLARE @ErrorNumber nchar(5), @ErrorMessage nvarchar(2048);
    SELECT
        @ErrorNumber = RIGHT('00000' + ERROR_NUMBER(), 5),
        @ErrorMessage = @ErrorNumber + ' ' + ERROR_MESSAGE();
    RAISERROR (@ErrorMessage, 16, 1);
END CATCH

As far as I am aware DDL sentences can be transactional while in read-committed isolation mode (pessimistic), which is the default mode.
