In this video we will discuss how to catch deadlock error using try/catch in SQL Server.

Modify the stored procedure as shown below to catch the deadlock error. The code is commented and is self-explanatory.

Alter procedure spTransaction1
as
Begin
Begin Tran
Begin Try
Update TableA Set Name = ‘Mark Transaction 1′ where Id = 1
Waitfor delay ’00:00:05’
Update TableB Set Name = ‘Mary Transaction 1’ where Id = 1
— If both the update statements succeeded.
— No Deadlock occurred. So commit the transaction.
Commit Transaction
Select ‘Transaction Successful’
End Try
Begin Catch
— Check if the error is deadlock error
If(ERROR_NUMBER() = 1205)
Begin
Select ‘Deadlock. Transaction failed. Please retry’
End
— Rollback the transaction
Rollback
End Catch
End

Alter procedure spTransaction2
as
Begin
Begin Tran
Begin Try
Update TableB Set Name = ‘Mary Transaction 2′ where Id = 1
Waitfor delay ’00:00:05’
Update TableA Set Name = ‘Mark Transaction 2’ where Id = 1
Commit Transaction
Select ‘Transaction Successful’
End Try
Begin Catch
If(ERROR_NUMBER() = 1205)
Begin
Select ‘Deadlock. Transaction failed. Please retry’
End
Rollback
End Catch
End

After modifying the stored procedures, execute both the procedures from 2 different windows simultaneously. Notice that the deadlock error is handled by the catch block.

In our next video, we will discuss how applications using ADO.NET can handle deadlock errors.
