about Transaction's problem

There is a table named users in my database.
It has two colume:
userName varchar(20)
age int
now I execute the follow transaction:
begin tran
insert users (userName,age) values ('mark',25)
insert users (userName,age) values ('jack',2577777777777767777)
commit tran
obviously,the second setence has an overflow error,
the question is:has the first record been inserted into the users table?
why?"κÊöÀÚ" <weisl@.netstars.com.cn> wrote in message

Because you told it to. You need error checking (or try/catch in SQL 2005)
to prevent execution from moving from the line that generates the error to
the line that commits the transaction.
