![ON_ERROR option [DBISQL]](arrow-left.gif){kind=icon}
Controls error-handling in stored procedures.
String. See Description for allowed values.
CONDITIONAL
This option controls error handling in stored procedures.
STOP– Stops execution immediately upon finding an error.
CONDITIONAL – If the procedure uses ON EXCEPTION RESUME, and the statement following the error handles the error, continue, otherwise exit.
CONDITION – Continue execution, regardless of the following statement. If there are multiple errors, the first error encountered in the stored procedure is returned. This option most closely mirrors Adaptive Server Enterprise behavior.
Both CONDITIONAL and CONTINUE settings for ON_TSQL_ERROR are used for Adaptive Server Enterprise compatibility, with CONTINUE most closely simulating Adaptive Server Enterprise behavior. The CONDITIONAL setting is recommended, particularly when developing new Transact-SQL stored procedures, as it allows errors to be reported earlier.
When this option is set to STOP or CONTINUE, it supersedes the setting of the CONTINUE_AFTER_RAISERROR option. However, when this option is set to CONDITIONAL (the default), behavior following a RAISERROR statement is determined by the setting of the CONTINUE_AFTER_RAISERROR option.
CREATE PROCEDURE statement [T-SQL].
“CONTINUE_AFTER_RAISERROR option [TSQL]”.
