Is the exact request (batch) to search for within the current session
The following query returns request_id:
SELECT request_id
FROM sys.dm_exec_requests
WHERE session_id = @@spid;

Alias

Default Value 0
-All

If this switch is enabled, results for all User Sessions will be retreived
This overides any values for SessionId or RequestId

Alias
Required False

-EnableException

By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

Required False
Pipeline false
Default Value False
