I think this was worded a little poorly, and I didn't catch the insert issue. I ran the code on 2008, it worked, I let the question go. I thought the rollback/truncate was tricky enough to be worth 2 points.

I have added 2008 to the question header, as well as noted in the answer for error, "error on the last SELECT".

The debate is interesting here, but for those of you that say that the question isn't fair because it's 2008 specific, 2008 isn't even the current version today. SQL Server 2008 R2 is. I would think that after a year and a half, that you would expect that 2008 is the subject of most questions.

SQL 2000 is EOL, SQL 2005 is getting close to a complete end of support (it's 2010), regardless of what's in *your* environment, consider 2008 to be the standard.
