    This document provides an overview of exception handling in SQL Server. It discusses that exception handling allows control over Transact-SQL code when errors occur, and errors can be logged, fixed, or translated to be more understandable. The key aspects are that an exception is an error during program execution, TRY blocks contain SQL code and CATCH blocks contain exception handling code, and exception handling gives the opportunity to address errors when they happen.

    Lesson 7 – Theory

    Exception Handling
    Learning Objectives

    After studying this lesson, you should be able to:

    • Understand and use exception handling


    What is Exception Handling?

    • An error condition during a program execution is called an exception


    and the mechanism for resolving such an exception is known as
    exception handling.

    • We can put all T-SQL statements into a TRY BLOCK and the code for
    exception handling can be put into a CATCH block.
    Error handling overview
    • Error handling in SQL Server gives us control over the Transact-SQL
    code.

    • For example, when things go wrong, we get a chance to do something


    about it and possibly make it right again.

    • SQL Server error handling can be as simple as just logging that


    something happened, or it could be us trying to fix an error.

    • It can even be translating the error in SQL language because we all


    know how technical SQL Server error messages could get making no
    sense and hard to understand.
