Remarks

If a Batch command is executed by the Execute method, the return element contains a single results element instead of a single root element. The content of the results element depends on the settings used to run the Batch command.

For non-transactional Batch commands, the results element contains one root element for each command executed by the Batch command, whether the command completes successfully or unsuccessfully. For transactional Batch commands, the results element contains only one root element, which contains the error information for the command that failed within the Batch command.
