Debugging Stored Procedures With Visual Studio.net Has Stopped Working
Mar 17, 2004
Hi, I used to be able to debug stored procedures via Visual Studio.net 2003. However, this has stopped working. It does not produce an error just simply doesn't work anymore i.e. the breakpoints are by-passed.
I have the correct settings in the Debug configuration section. If any-one knows how to rectify this your help would be appreciated.
I have thought about re-installing the remote debugging functionality on the server. However, our Visual Studio.net discs are with a developer who is away at present.
I've followed the steps in http://www.sqlteam.com/article/debugging-stored-procedures-in-visual-studio-2005 & in the MSDN for configuring and setting up debugging SQL 2005 stored procedures in VS 2008 (seems to be the same as in VS 2005). Everything works fine until I Step Into the Stored Procedure. Everything says that a yellow arrow will appear on the left and I can start going line by line. I never get the yellow arrow.
If I set a breakpoint, it is automatically disabled. The pop-up warning says, "The breakpoint will not currently be hit. Unable to bind SQL breakpoint at this time. Object containing the breakpoint not loaded." I can't find anything about this message or problem on Microsoft's site or on the web. Any assistance is appreciated.
P.S. I'm running VS 2008 Professional Edition Version 9.0.2.1022.8 RTM
Hi ,I am using Visual studio 2005 with sql server 2005. I want to debug my stored procedure, which is situated on the server on the network(accessible through network share). I followed the following URL: http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/articles/051607-1.aspxI have used Direct database debugging : When I right click my stored procedure and click 'step into stored procedure', I get the following error: "Unable to start T-SQL debugging. could not attach to SQL server process on 'sql_server_name'. The remote procedure call failed and did not execute" I am using windows authentication to login to sql server Any help?
Can I create stored procedures from within Visual Studio 2005, or do I have to do it in SQL Server itself? If it can be done within Visual Studio, can someone offer a simple example or point me to a tutorial? Thanks for your help!
Hi everyone, I dont know if I am posting this to the right area but here goes: I know there is a way you can step into a stored procedure from VS.net, but I dind't know how. I searched google and found this MS KB Article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316549 However, on step two, "Under the Servers node in Server Explorer, expand the SQL Server Machine name, expand the SQL Servers Node, ..." The first and only item I have in the tree is my local machine name. If I expand that I do not have a SQL Servers node, all I have are: Crystal Reports Services, Event Logs Management Classes, Management Events, Message Queues, Performance Counters and Services. The instance of SQL Server I am using is on my local machine and I am able to communicate with it. I am using TCP/IP I figured to check the SQL Server Config Manager and see what protocols the db was using. The client protocols are Shared Memory, TCP/IP and Named Pipes (these are enabled) I then looked at the SQL Server 2005 Services. The following are running: SQL Server Integration Services, SQL Server FullText, SQL Server, SQL Server Analysis Services, SQL Server Reporting and SQL Server Agent (This was stopped but I started it) SQL Server Browser is NOT running and I can't start it. I dont know if that has anything to do with it. Am I missing somethign? Thanks, John
Hi.I am under the understanding that having the sql server 2005 db is notenough (like 2000 was) to debug stored procedures.. that I need topurchase (costly) visual studio 2005.Can someone suggest a free or lower cost alternative?sorry to be so cheap.. its the times I think.
I have a stored procedure which simply does a SELECT on a table. This table has as a column a uniqueidentifier, which is not part of the PK. If I execute this procedure with the SQL Server tools, it works fine and returns the expected results. If I execute this SP with Visual Studio, or ASP.NET, no results are returned and the following comes back:Running [dbo].[spServiceDetail_Get] ( @ServiceDetailID = <DEFAULT>, @VictimWitnessID = <DEFAULT>).ServiceDetailID VictimWitnessID --------------- -------------------------------------- No rows affected.(1 row(s) returned)@RETURN_VALUE = 0Finished running [dbo].[spServiceDetail_Get]. Any ideas what is going wrong? This seems to be a common problem for many of our tables with a uniqueidentifier in them, and is specifically with VS 2005 and ASP.NET ObjectDataSources.
Hello, What permissions do I need to set on our new SQL Server 2005 test server so that I can see the stored procedures, views and tables from Visual Studio development environment.
Example, I can see my older SQL Server 7 tables, edit them, write stored procedures, and so on. But while I can see the SQL Server 2005 and its databases, the folder underneath are empty and I cannot right-click to create New stored procedure or table.
My guess is that there is security involved, if so, what do I set on the new server? If I'm wrong, and it's something else entirely, please advise.
I am trying to debug stored procedure using visual studio. I right click on connection and checked 'Allow SQL/CLR debugging' .. the store procedure is not local and is on sql server.
Whenever I tried to right click stored procedure and select step into store procedure> i get following error
"User 'Unknown user' could not execute stored procedure 'master.dbo.sp_enable_sql_debug' on SQL server XXXXX. Click Help for more information"
I am not sure what needs to be done on sql server side
We tried to search for sp_enable_sql_debug but I could not find this stored procedure under master.
Some web page I came accross says that "I must have an administratorial rights to debug" but I am not sure what does that mean?
I am using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition
I open it up, Connect to a SQL Server, expand through to the stored procedure I want, Right Click and ...... There are no options for stepping into the stored proc.
Could I have missed something on the install. Please Help!!!
Hello all. I've been trying to find answers for my problem in this forum (and others) but with no sucess so far.
My problem is that Visual Studio crashes when I start debugging a specific package. This package will call most of the other packages in the project (around 200) and it seems that Visual Studio is unable to handle that number of packages, or if it is, then something else is flawed somewhere. All the packages run as they should when I debug them by themselves. Running without debug works fine but I need it to run in debug mode.
I read some topics where the problem was about validation when opening SSIS but that's not my case. Everything runs smoothly and even the first minutes of debugging run ok, but after that the process keeps running, and I know that because some process tasks still popup, but visual studio doesn't respond at all.
I am unable to debug code from a SQL Database Project using the CLR. After VS 2005 does the auto-attaching to the SQL server, VS hangs until I tell it to stop debugging. Many others have reported this as a similar problem, however this only seems to affect me when I€™m connecting to specific servers. Specifically it seems to be remote connections. When I attempt to connect to my SQL 2005 Developer Edition €ślocally€? I get right through and can debug. From my VS output window:
Auto-attach to process '[1688] [SQL] gx620-eric' on machine 'gx620-eric' succeeded.
Debugging script from project script file.
testing
No rows affected.
(0 row(s) returned)
Finished running sp_executesql.

The program '[1688] [SQL] gx620-eric: gx620-eric' has exited with code 0 (0x0).
When I attempt to connect to a remote server running Enterprise Edition, it hangs after a successful attach.
Auto-attach to process '[1856] [SQL] virtual2003eric' on machine 'virtual2003eric' succeeded.
Sometimes after countless attempts, I am able to get this to work, but lately I have had no success. As far as the SQL Server side, enabling and disabling the CLR through the Surface Area Configuration seems to be the only place to do anything relative to the CLR inside SQL server.
I have firewalls disabled. All SQL Servers presently have both SQL 2005 SP2 and Visual Studio 2005 SP1 installed.
I€™ve tried restarting servers and services, checking and un-checking €śAllow SQL/CLR Debugging€? and those steps did not work for me.
Does anyone have any insight on this one? Any ideas on how I can further debug this one?
I'm having some problems debugging SQL Server stored procedures on a SQL Server 2005 server. I have installed Visual Studio 2005 on a workstation running Windows XP, now I'm trying to debug a ASP.Net web application that has some code that executes the stored procedures on a Windows 2003 Server running SQL Server 2005.
I opened VS2005 ... created a connection to the SQL Server 2005 instance ... open the Stored procedure ... right click the stored procedure name and selected Step into Stored Procedure and the following message is displayed:
Unable to start T-SQL debugging.Could not attach to SQL Server process on 'ServerName'.
I've got a stored procedure in database A that calls the sp_start_job stored procedure in msdb as follows:
CREATE PROCEDURE xxxxx WITH EXECUTE AS 'domainusername'
AS
EXEC msdb.dbo.sp_start_job B'jobname' ;
RETURN
The domainusername is the in the database sysadmin role and the owner of the job. To make this work originally, I had to change the msdb database to be trusted.
This worked for the past several months.
Now it doesn't work (perhaps after a reboot but not sure). The error I get is "The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_start_job', database 'msdb', schema 'dbo'
I looked to make sure that the account had grant execute rights and it does. I tried setting it via GRANT statement and it was granted successfully yet the error still occurs. I've tried changing accounts and anything else I can think of to no avail.
Any ideas how to troubleshoot this issue. I've tried all the tricks I can think of.
Hello, I have tried to use the debug feature in query analyzer to debug a stored procedure but it doesn't work. I have done the simple task of selecting the sp in the object browser, right clicking it and selecting debug. I supply the parameter and click execute. Next, I apply a breakpoint to a SELECT statement and then click go. The sp just goes without stopping at the breakpoint; it doesn't even show the yellow arrow on where it is supposed to go next. Am I missing something? Do I need a patch? The version I am running is 8.00.194. If anyone can give me direction, I would appreciate it.
Hello,I am doing a lot of work with stored procedures at work now and am wonderingif there is a way that I can step through the code line by line and setbreakpoints on it like I do in VB/VBA to test variables/parameters.Regards,Jayne
I have complete error handling and printing the error after every insert or update statements or after calling another procedure.
But somehow when executing the proc it is not printing the error.
The query analyzer shows a general message 'Query batch completed with errors'
All the logic seems to be working properly, but this message is bothering me. Why is this message displayed if everything is run correctly [or] is something wrong ?
I have a script that changes the name of a file after a data upload. The script works fine if I execute the package in Visual Studio but when I run the file package from a SQL server job it does not rename the file. The data does get uploaded it just does not run the final script.
I don't see the option to debug a stored procedure. I right click on the procedure and should'nt it appear in the properties window. Do I need to install some extra component to get the debugger.
I understand that there has been some dscussion on the subject of debugging T-SQL stored procedures. Can you point me to this information? I am not interested in how to debug CLR stored procedures as that is well documented. Thanks
It is impossible for me to debug any stored procedures. I use MSSQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005. I can open procedure's body in VS, launch it, but when I choose "Step into stored procedure", I get the following error message:
"Unable to start program 'MSSQL:://localhost/my_db/dbo/=34353453453'. The system cannot find the file specified."
My OS is WinXP x64, and SQL Server is also x64, but I tried it on a 32-bit machine with the same result. What am I missing? Thanks for any help.
Running SQL Server Express is there a way to debug TSQL stored procedures? I also have Visual Studio .NET 2003, can I use it to debug the TSQL stored procedures?
my username is selevalencia, I had before the database on my machine, but as now we have a server I backed up the database and restored on the server, it seems that it has the sames logins and security users,
Its strange because the user dbo is assigned the user selevalencia on the server, and I cant alter the user dbo.
The user dbo should be the login sa?? I am in big trouble with this, beacuase I cant debug my sql clr stored procedure.
T-Sql execution ended without debugging. You may have not have sufficient permissions to debug.
I am using a connection with windows authentication, so it means that its sending tha tokes as selevalencia to the server.
Please feel free to ask for more information about it. Thanks
I have an extremely annoying problem when debugging stored procedures in SQL Server 2014 with SSDT or SSMS. When calling a SP thru EXECUTE in Debug mode, 9 out of 10 SPs are traced with a wrong yellow arrow-pointer to the line currently reached.
The offset is between 6 to 15 lines downward. Tracing itself and update of the "Locals"-view works as expected. All SPs contain comments also before the Create Procedure statement. The SP shown when tracing show exactly the same content as the stored SQL in the SSDT project under work incl. Create procedure and all comments.
The picture here show the first line selected after the debugger has traced into the SP. The first line really executed with "Next" will be SET NOCOUNT ON.
If this does not turns out as my fault and some of you would support that, I would like to post this to SQL Connect.
Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get
The remote connection to the device has been lost.
Please verify the device conection and restart debugging.
I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back!
My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port. I've rebooted my PC and done a soft reset on the PDA but it didn't help. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.
HiIs it possible to use Visual Source Safe with SQL Server inorder to keep track of all modifications done to stored procedures?What are the pros and cons ?Thanks, Eugene
You know this sample ODS dll project: $80oolsdevtoolssamplesodsxp_hello
I need to find a template like this in Visual Basic.
On this site I read through the xp_Encrypt project which was developed in VB. I did not see source code or a downloadable project file.
My searching on the internet hasn't yielded any practicle results, all examples are either how to use an extended stored procedure or are a MSVC++ project.
Anyone find VB related resources, anywhere? Books, TV, magazines????
Hello,I want to debug a Stored Procedure in the VIsual Studio. Actually I managed to do that, but only from Step into SP and Execute. I want to put a breakpoint in the procedure and when it is hit to stop, but if I Run(With Debug) my Site it doesn't stop at the breakpoint in the SP. I put a mark in the project options to debug SQL. What can be wrong?
Anyone can help me why is this not working? My function is public void updateSupplierInformation(string FirstLetter, string Vendor, string SegmentTeam, string VendorRank, string ScrubOwner) { SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand("sp_LAST_UpdateSupplier", myConnection);
myConnection.Close(); } My Stored procedure is: ALTER PROCEDURE sp_LAST_UpdateSupplier @FirstLetterS varchar(1), @VendorS varchar(30), @SegTeamS varchar(30), @VendorRankS varchar(30), @ScrubOwnerS varchar(30) AS UPDATE [gntm_user].LAST_Supplier_Ownership SET First_Letter =@FirstLetterS,Seg_Team =@SegTeamS,Vendor_Rank =@VendorRankS, Scrub_Owner =@ScrubOwnerS WHERE Vendor=@VendorS
RETURN
When I debug on any of the myParam value it displays "@FirstLetterS,@VendorS" etc. not the value which is being passed in the function which is FirstLetter,Vendor. Can anyone help me on this please? Thanks in advance
