Hi

I am new to MSSQL and PERL (having always used Sybase or Oracle). I have noticed that when I execute a stored proc and raise a user defined error ..

CREATE PROC SP_DAVE
AS
BEGIN
    update mytable set st = getdate() 
    where  date = getdate();
    if @@rowcount != 1
    begin
        RAISERROR ('No Rows !!',16,1);
        RETURN -1;
    end
    RETURN 0;
END;

Now ... my perl will not pick up this user defined error !! It sees the first command executed succesfully then ignores subsequent errors.

a brief summary of my perl code..
    $sql = "EXEC SP_DAVE"; 
    $sth = $dbh->prepare($sql);
        $sth->execute 
           or 
              print "\nError EXECUTE\n$DBI::errstr\n";

...

This will not report the user defined error !!
