You create a table named Products by running the following Transact-SQL statement:

You have the following stored procedure:

You need to modify the stored procedure to meet the following new requirements:

Insert product records as a single unit of work.

Return error number 51000 when a product fails to insert into the database.

If a product record insert operation fails, the product information must not be permanently written to the database.

Solution: You run the following Transact-SQL statement:

Does the solution meet the goal?

Yes
No

Correct answer: B

Explanation:

With X_ABORT ON the INSERT INTO statement and the transaction will be rolled back when an error is raised, it would then not be possible to ROLLBACK it again in the IF XACT_STATE() <> O ROLLBACK TRANSACTION statement. Note: A transaction is correctly defined for the INSERT INTO ..VALUES statement, and if there is an error in the transaction it will be caughtant he transaction will be rolled back, finally an error 51000 will be raised. Note: When SET XACT_ABORT is ON, if a Transact-SQL statement raises a run-time error, the entire transaction is terminated and rolled back. XACT_STATE is a scalar function thatreports the user transaction state of a current running request. XACT_STATE indicates whether the request has an active user transaction, and whether the transaction is capable of being committed. The states of XACT_STATE are:0 There is no active user transaction for the current request. 1 The current request has an active user transaction. The request can perform any actions, including writing data and committing the transaction. 2 The current request has an active user transaction, but an error hasoccurred that has caused the transaction to be classified as an uncommittable transaction.

The states of XACT_STATE are:

0 There is no active user transaction for the current request.

1 The current request has an active user transaction. The request can perform any actions, including writing data and committing the transaction.

2 The current request has an active user transaction, but an error hasoccurred that has caused the transaction to be classified as an uncommittable transaction.

Yes
No

Correct answer: B

Explanation:

A transaction is correctly defined for the INSERT INTO .VALUES statement, and if there is an error in the transaction it will be caught ant he transaction will be rolled back. However, error number 51000 will not be returned, as it is only used in an IF @ERROR = 51000 statement. Note: @@TRANCOUNT returns the number of BEGIN TRANSACTION statements that have occurred on thecurrent connection. References:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187967.aspx

Yes
No

Correct answer: A

Explanation:

If the INSERT INTO statement raises an error, the statement will be caught and an error 51000 will be thrown. In this case no records will have been inserted. Note:You can implement error handling for the INSERT statement by specifying the statement in a TRY…CATCH construct. If an INSERT statement violates a constraint or rule, or if it has a value incompatible with the data type of the column, the statement fails and an error message is returned.
