T-SQL Throw Exception

Question

I am facing the famous \'Incorrect syntax\' while using a THROW statement in a T-SQL stored procedure. I have Googled it and checked the questions on StackOverf

Answer 1

To solve your problem,

Incorrect statement near 'THROW'. Expecting CONVERSATION, DIALOG, DISTRIBUTED, or TRANSACTION

put semi-colon before your throw statement:

BEGIN
    ;THROW 99001, 'O associated with the given Q Id already exists', 1;
END

And about the

"Incorrect statement near 'THROW'".

Try to use this in case you're using a older version than SQL 2012:

RAISERROR('O associated with the given Q Id already exists',16,1);

Because THROW is a new feature of SQL 2012.
