In a normal stored procedure if you have:
BEGIN TRANSACTION
DELETE tbl WHERE ....
DELETE tbl2 WHERE ....
COMMIT TRANSACTION
you could very well end up with only one of the DELETE statements
being carried out, becuase many errors in SQL Server aborts the
current statment only.
A distributed transaction may be different. At least in some
situations there is a requirement that SET XACT_ABORT is ON. With
this settings all errors but compile errors abort the batch and
rollback the transaction.
But exactly what happens, I will have to admit that I don't know. The
best advice I can give is to test a scenario where one of the DELETE
statement fails. No, wait, the best is to either add checks on @@error
or make sure XACT_ABORT is ON.
