SET XACT_ABORT ON

SET XACT_ABORT ON时，在事务中，若出现错误，系统即默认回滚事务，但只对非自定义错误有效

SET XACT_ABORT OFF，默认值，在事务中，回滚一个语句还是整个事务视错误的严重程序而定，用户级错误一般不会回滚整个事务
When SET XACT_ABORT is ON, if a Transact-SQL statement raises a run-time error, the entire transaction is terminated and rolled back.
The setting of SET XACT_ABORT is set at execute or run time and not at parse（从语法上分析；解析） time.

Examples

The following code example causes a foreign key violation error in a transaction that has other Transact-SQL statements. In the first set of statements, the error is generated, but the other statements execute successfully and the transaction is successfully committed. In the second set of statements, SET XACT_ABORT is set to ON. This causes the statement error to terminate the batch and the transaction is rolled back.

INSERT INTO t2 VALUES (3); COMMIT TRANSACTION; GO SET XACT_ABORT ON; GO BEGIN TRANSACTION; INSERT INTO t2 VALUES (4); INSERT INTO t2 VALUES (5); -- Foreign key error. INSERT INTO t2 VALUES (6); COMMIT TRANSACTION; GO -- SELECT shows only keys 1 and 3 added. -- Key 2 insert failed and was rolled back, but -- XACT_ABORT was OFF and rest of transaction -- succeeded. -- Key 5 insert error with XACT_ABORT ON caused -- all of the second transaction to roll back.
