How to declare SQL Transaction

Begin tran
--do stuff here
commit tran

With Example:

SET XACT_ABORT ON --this one
set nocount on
BEGIN tran -- * Transaction Start here * -- -- * Product * --
-- do stuff here
if(@@ERROR<>0)
begin
rollback tran
set @succ=0
end
else
begin
set @succ=-1
commit tran
end

Nesting Transaction

SQL Server allows you to nest transactions. Basically, this feature means that a new transaction can start even though the previous one is not complete. Transact-SQL allows you to nest transaction operations by issuing nested BEGIN TRAN commands. The @@TRANCOUNT automatic variable can be queried to determine the level of nesting - 0 indicates no nesting , 1 indicates nesting one level deep, and so fourth.

Some error occur

You can put set xact_abort on before your transaction to make sure sql rolls back automatically in case of error.
