[dba-SQLServer] There are uncommitted transactions

It's acceptable.

I also do it like Francisco showed.

When i rollback i like to raise an error so the front end knows it was
rolled back and your error trapping can catch it and handle it gracefully.

Something like: raiserror('somethingHappened',17,1)
