Error handling is an
important aspect of any programming language. Like other programming languages,
in T-SQL programming also, we use the TRY_CATCH block to capture the
error. To capture the detailed error, we
use the system defined function provided by SQL Server. In order to reduce the
rewriting of same code & utilizing the code reusability. We can use the
below stored procedure in the catch block to catch the error in the stored
procedure and stored it into a separate ErrorLog table for reference .
