PRB: No RAISERROR in sp_password

Last reviewed: April 25, 1997
Article ID: Q77189

The information in this article applies to:

  - Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2 for OS/2
  - Microsoft SQL Server version 4.2

SYMPTOMS

The global variable @@ERROR is not set if the sp_password procedure fails because the wrong password is supplied.

CAUSE

This is expected behavior of SQL Server. The sp_password procedure does not use the RAISERROR statement on error conditions. Instead, it prints out a message and exits the procedure.
