SQL Syntax Error Handler

To solve the given problem, we need to write a function in SQL that can handle the scenario where there is incorrect syntax near a certain keyword or code.

Here is the solution:

CREATE FUNCTION handle_syntax_error()
RETURNS VARCHAR(100)
AS
BEGIN
    RETURN 'There is an incorrect syntax near the code.';
    -- Or, you can raise an exception here if needed.
END;

Explanation:

• We create a function called handle_syntax_error using the CREATE FUNCTION statement.
• The function has a return type of VARCHAR(100) which can be modified based on the specific requirements.
• Inside the function, we include the logic to handle the syntax error, in this case, returning a specific message.
• You can customize the message as per your requirements.
• If needed, you can raise an exception instead of returning a message by using the THROW statement.

Code Usage Example:

DECLARE @result VARCHAR(100);

BEGIN TRY
    -- Your SQL code that may raise a syntax error
    -- ...
    -- ...

    SET @result = 'Success';
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
    SET @result = dbo.handle_syntax_error();
END CATCH;

SELECT @result;

Explanation:

• We declare a variable @result of type VARCHAR(100).
• We wrap the code that may raise a syntax error inside a TRY block.
• If an error occurs, the control is passed to the CATCH block where we call the handle_syntax_error function to handle the error.
• If no error occurs, the code proceeds normally.
• We select the @result variable to see the output.

Note: This solution assumes you are using Microsoft SQL Server. The syntax may vary for different database systems.
