I have never used a Transaction, Commit and Rollback before and now I need to use one. I have checked around online, etc for examples to make sure that I am in fact using this correctly but I am still not sure if I have coded this correct. I am hoping someone can review and advise me if this seems correct.
Basically I have 2 databases for an application. One is an archive - meaning data that is no longer going to be manipulated by the users will be moved to this DB. But in the event they ever need it, I will move the needed data back to the main database for use. My stored proc is below:
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[spReopenClosed]
(
@Return_Message VARCHAR(1024) = '' OUT,
@IID uniqueidentifier,
@OpenDate smalldatetime,
@ReopenedBy uniqueidentifier
)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
/******************************
* Variable Declarations
*******************************/
DECLARE @ErrorCode int
/******************************
* Initialize Variables
*******************************/
SELECT @ErrorCode = @@ERROR
IF @ErrorCode = 0
BEGIN TRANSACTION
/****************************************************************************
* Step 1
* Copy the Closed from the Archive
****************************************************************************/
INSERT INTO OPS.dbo.SM_T_In
SELECT
FROM OPS_ARCHIVE.Archive.SM_T_In W
WHERE W.GUID = @IID
AND W.OpenDate = @OpenDate
IF @ErrorCode <> 0
BEGIN
-- Rollback the Transaction
ROLLBACK
RAISERROR ('Error in Copying from the archive', 16, 1)
RETURN
END
/****************************************************************************
* Step 2
* copy the notes
****************************************************************************/
INSERT INTO OPS.dbo.SM_T_Notes
SELECT
FROM OPS_ARCHIVE.Archive.SM_T_Notes W
WHERE W.GUID = @IID
IF @ErrorCode <> 0
BEGIN
-- Rollback the Transaction
ROLLBACK
RAISERROR ('Error in copying the notes', 16, 1)
RETURN
END
/****************************************************************************
* Step 3
* Delete the from the Archive - this will also delete the notes
****************************************************************************/
DELETE
FROM OPS_ARCHIVE.Archive.SM_T_In
WHERE OPS_ARCHIVE.Archive.SM_T_In.GUID = @IID
IF @ErrorCode <> 0
BEGIN
-- Rollback the Transaction
ROLLBACK
RAISERROR ('Error in deleting the items from the Archive', 16, 1)
RETURN
END
COMMIT
BEGIN
SELECT @ErrorCode = @@ERROR
IF @ErrorCode = 0
SELECT @Return_Message = 'All data was moved over'
END
/*************************************
* Get the Error Message for @@Error
*************************************/
IF @ErrorCode <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT @Return_Message = [Description] -- Return the SQL Server error
FROM master.dbo.SYSMESSAGES
WHERE error = @ErrorCode
END
/*************************************
* Return from the Stored Procedure
*************************************/
RETURN @ErrorCode -- =0 if success, <>0 if failure
END
I have two inserts that move the data from 2 tables from the Archive database. If those inserts are successful, then I will delete the data from the Archive DB. I would appreciate any feedback on this, I need to make sure that I am doing this properly.
Thanks
