For example, Lee (L000) and Leigh (L200) are pronounced identically, but have different soundex codes because the silent g in Leigh is given a code. Names that sound alike but start with a different first letter will always have a different soundex code. Thus, names such as Carr (C600) and Karr (K600) have different soundex codes even though they sound alike. Name that sound alike but have different first letters should have each name calculated and searched for separately. Since the soundex system is based on English pronunciationn, some European names may not soundex correctly. For example, some French surnames with silent last letters will not code according to pronunciation. An example is the French name such as Beaux - where the x is silent.

When you exit a stored procedure, if @@trancount does not have the same value as it had when the procedure commenced execution, SQL Server raises error 266. This error is not raised, though, if the procedure is called from a trigger, directly or indirectly. Neither is it raised if you are running with SET IMPLICIT TRANSACTIONS ON .
