How do I make a correct DELETE statement fail? I have a developer that wants to test a code branch and he needs a delete statement to fail. It can’t be locked ( shared or exclusive ) from a separate session or be an incorrect statement or return “0 rows deleted.” It has to be “delete from table where col = value”. How can I force that to fail? thanks. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Keep your friends up to date with what you do online. http://windowslive.com/Campaign/SocialNetworking?ocid=PID23285::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-US:SI_SB_online:082009
