    Hi,

    I have a script worth 1000 lines which creates DB & other many objects. I am using TRY CATCH & RAISERROR in my stored proc to trap the errors.

    Problem is if it fails in between -- it does give me the error message but continues to execute after that particular GO statement and other objects are getting created. I want the script to stop right there and dont continue further. Can anyone suggest me a way to do this?

    Idont want to use Error Severity of 21 which will disconnect the connection.

    Thanks in advance...

    in SSMS or Query analyzer, you can't...as you identified, the GO statements start a new batch, and you can't interupt the processing of the batches without raising an error severity 21 or so;

    you could wite a quick and dirty application that runs the sql file, grabbing each section delimited by GO, and stip it's execution if .ExecuteNonQuery returns an exception for example.

    but i don't think that's what you were looking for.

    Heh... why can't you just remove the GO's?
