• By default, the Throw statement always has the severity of 16.

    Microsoft deprecates yet another incredibly useful tool and replaces it with a piece of garbage with much fewer capabilities.

    The "advantages" you have for THROW are actually disadvantages for me especially when it comes to THROW having fewer parameters. I really hope this is April Fools joke. I'm totally disgusted with what Microsoft thinks "improvements" actually are.

    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
