写存储过程时，对于嵌套Transaction如何控制

今天在微软网站上看到一个示例，是显示嵌套transaction的标准写法，把示例记录在这里。

    -- from an active transaction and save

    -- means there was no active transaction
    -- and the procedure started one.
    -- @TranCounter > 0 means an active
    -- transaction was started before the
    -- procedure was called.
    DECLARE @TranCounter INT;
    SET @TranCounter = @@TRANCOUNT;
    IF @TranCounter > 0
        -- Procedure called when there is
        -- an active transaction.

                -- because the savepoint rollback writes to
                -- the log. Just return to the caller, which

        -- After the appropriate rollback, echo error
        -- information to the caller.
