Thanks--Harvinder" |

| If your server has SET IMPLICIT_TRANSACTIONS ON, you would need to issue an explicit COMMIT even without an explicit BEGIN TRANSACTION. I believe that this setting defaults to OFF, but I believe the server can be configured to set it ON as a default for all new connections.You don't have to use transactions for error handling at all, they are only intended to treat multiple statements as one unit of work, that can be rolled back or committed as such. Unless you specify a BEGIN TRAN or implicit transaction, each statement is itself a transaction and is committed as it executes. You would not be able to roll back an individual statement without using transactions. |
