Hi,

When i execute the following Script.
I get error 'Cannot roll back InnerTran. No transaction or savepoint of that name was found.'
i.e I couldn't able to rollback inner transaction.
Can any one know the reason for this?

Create Table BPTest(id int)
begin try
begin tran OuterTran
Insert into BPTest values (1)
begin try
begin tran InnerTran
Insert into BPTest values (2)
Declare @Error varchar(500)
set @Error='test'
RAISERROR(@Error, 16, -1)
commit tran InnerTran
end try
begin catch
rollback tran InnerTran
end catch
Insert into BPTest values (3)
rollback tran OuterTran
end try
begin catch
print Error_Message()
end catch
Select * from BPTest
drop table BPTest
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
B. Prakash

I think you want to use a transaction save point:

Create Table #BPTest(id int)
begin try
begin tran OuterTran
Insert into #BPTest values (1)
begin try
save tran InnerTran
Insert into #BPTest values (2)
Declare @Error varchar(500)
set @Error='test'
RAISERROR(@Error, 16, -1)
end try
begin catch
rollback tran InnerTran
end catch
Insert into #BPTest values (3)
end try
begin catch
print Error_Message()
rollback tran OuterTran
end catch
Select * from #BPTest
drop table #BPTest

So we cannot have nested Transactions (it does not make any sense to have nested transaction when we are not allowed to rollback the inner transaction) in SQL Server? And if we want nested transaction we should use Save Point instead?

In other words in SQL Server nested transactions can be implemented by using Save Points? Kindly explain this.

Nested transactions are a lie.
