Customized Error Message

Hi,
I have a table like this:
CREATE TABLE Table1 (
[ID] int NOT NULL Primary Key)
After inserting some records, obviously when I try to update all records to
a particular value, SQL server raises an error (number 2627) that indicates
the "Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint" has happened.
What I need to do is to return an error message instead of SQL server's.
Suppose that I have this SP:
CREATE PROCEDURE UpdateTable1 AS
BEGIN TRAN
UPDATE table1 set id=1
IF @.@.Error = 2627
begin
print 'Duplicate Value'
raiserror('Duplicate Value',16,1)
rollback tran
end
else
begin
print 'Update was ok'
commit tran
end
GO
SQL server returns two error descriptions when I execute this SP: One from
its original messages and the other one from my raiserror statement.
I want to display my own error description to the client without writing
extra code for error handling in my client app(and also for centralizing my
own error descriptions those are returned instead of SQL server's error
messages).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
