Symptoms
Assume that you have a Transact-SQL stored procedure such as the following that takes a table-valued parameter (TVP) that has a constraint as an argument:
create type TestTvpType as table
(
id int primary key, -- UNIQUE will also do the trick
data int
);
go
create procedure TestTvpProc @tvp TestTvpType readonly
as
begin
select * from @tvp;
end;
go
In a scenario where this procedure is called from a SQLCLR stored procedure and the constraint is violated for the argument, you may incorrectly receive a system assert, when you would expect to receive a "constraint violation" error message.
The following is an example of a SQLCLR procedure producing a constraint violation for the stored procedure:
[SqlProcedure]
public static void ClrProcCallingTsqlProcWithTvpArgument(out int sum)
{
using (SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection("context connection=true"))
{
sum = 0;
DataTable myDataTable = new DataTable("TestTvpType");
myDataTable.Columns.Add("id", typeof(Int32));
myDataTable.Columns.Add("data", typeof(Int32));
// Populate the TVP so it will trigger a PRIMARY KEY VIOLATION error
myDataTable.Rows.Add(1, 1000);
myDataTable.Rows.Add(1, 2000);
SqlParameter parameter = new SqlParameter();
parameter.ParameterName = "@tvp";
parameter.SqlDbType = System.Data.SqlDbType.Structured;
parameter.Value = myDataTable;
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("TestTvpProc", connection);
command.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
command.Parameters.Add(parameter);
connection.Open();
using (SqlDataReader reader = command.ExecuteReader())
{
while (reader.Read())
{
…;
}
}
}
}
