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.
TIA
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
View 4 Replies View RelatedI 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 ?
Example:
[code]
/*************************************************************

**************************************************************/
SELECT @rowcount = @@rowcount
,@error = @@error
,@short_msg = 'Error Creating MCTM. - AG_SP_FAC_MCTN_INSERT'

,@resolution_msg = 'Stored procedure error. Contact Technical Support for fix'
,@log_cd = 'AG.CONV.ERR' + convert(char,@exec_seq_no)

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
Hello
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.
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
Hello,
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
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.
Thanks in advance

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.
I have a custom application that on occasion requires thousands of TSQLfiles (on the file system) to be compiled to the database.What is the quickest way to accomplish this?We currently have a small vbs script that gets a list of all the files,the loops around a call to "osql". each call to osql opens/closes aconnection to the destination database (currently across the network).

All,
I have beating my head over this and have asked questions to clear this up in small bits.
In trying to get all of my business processes in stored procedures versus in the ASP pages. The ASP page is as follows:
--Normal ASP header
<%
myquery = "Exec MainSysLogQuery '6ED178C0-0202-4F8D-9C04-4C7B83A14190'
'Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")'Set Connection Variable
Set SysMainQuery=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset" )
SysMainQuery.open "Select * from tbl_Date", strDSNPath
howmanyfields=SysMainQuery.fields.count -1
response.write "<table border='1'><tr>"
'Put Headings On The Table of Field Names
FOR i=0 to howmanyfields
response.write "<td NOWRAP><Font Size=2><b>" & SysMainQuery(i).name & "</b></td>"
NEXT
response.write "</tr>"
' Now loop through the data
DO WHILE NOT SysMainQuery.eof
response.write "<tr>"
FOR i = 0 to howmanyfields
fieldvalue=SysMainQuery(i)
If isnull(fieldvalue) THEN
fieldvalue="n/a"
END IF
If trim(fieldvalue)="" THEN
fieldvalue=" "
END IF
response.write "<td valign='top' NOWRAP><Font Size=2>"
response.write fieldvalue
response.write "</td>"
next
response.write "</tr>"
SysMainQuery.movenext
'howmanyrecs=howmanyrecs+1
LOOP
response.write "</table></font><p>"
' close, destroy
SysMainQuery.close
set SysMainQuery=nothing
%>
</body></html>
The stored procedure takes the input an returns the sql statement:
Alter Procedure MainSysLogQuery
@myDates nvarchar(200) = '',
As
declare @oSql nvarchar(4000)
declare @viewtmp nvarchar(3000)
declare @querytmp nvarchar(3000)
declare @wheretmp nvarchar(3000)
declare @ordertmp nvarchar(3000)
declare @tmplen int
Set @wheretmp = ''
Set @tmplen = 0
if @myDates != ''
Set @wheretmp = @wheretmp + 'tbl_All_SysDATA.dateid = ''' + @myDates +''''
If len(@wheretmp)>0
Set @wheretmp = ' WHERE ' + @wheretmp
print @wheretmp
Set @viewtmp = 'SELECT *'
Set @querytmp = ' FROM tbl_All_SysData'
Set @ordertmp = ' ORDER BY LongDate DESC'
Set @oSQL = @viewtmp + @querytmp + @wheretmp + @ordertmp
PRINT @oSQL
Exec(@oSQL)
Go
The problem is I keep getting:
Error Type:
ADODB.Recordset (0x800A0E78)
Operation is not allowed when the object is closed.
It returns the recordset when I call it from SQL Query Tool but not in the ADO object. If I use a regular SQL statement it works get but not with a Stored Procedure....
The Errors are on on the recordset.eof, recordset.movenext, etc....
Has anyone ever run into this?
Thanks

I want to know the differences between SQL Server 2000 storedprocedures and oracle stored procedures? Do they have differentsyntax? The concept should be the same that the stored proceduresexecute in the database server with better performance?Please advise good references for Oracle stored procedures also.thanks!!

I have found that when I'm debugging a custom component in BIDS that I've created in another instance of Visual Studio, every time I rebuild the component I have to shutdown and restart BIDS and then reattach to the BIDS process. Which is pretty time consuming... And if I find a small error in my custom component when debugging then I don't seem to be allowed to make any changes to the code unless I stop debugging and go through the process above.
Am I missing something here? Or do I really have to manually go through these steps every time I want to change code in the component I'm debugging?
Can I automate the process with MSBuild or NAnt? If so, is there an example of this anywhere?
Thanks in advance,
Lawrie.
1) I open the stored proc in Visual studio IDE 2)Enable the SQL debugging with right click the project---->configuration--> check SQL
debugging 3)Put the breakpoint on sp 4) when I click on step into(F11) sp , it throws the message that sp_debug requires access permissionswhere to set this?
Hi all,
I need to debug a stored procedure. Is there a tool or do I need to popup message boxes to know what values are processed ?
Your response is appreciated.
Thanks.
can anyone suggest any method for the debugging of stored Procedure in Sql Server.Like step by step debugging in VB
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've got a stored procedure which does a database search for me. It is working fine, but for some reason it isn't finding what I expect. I think the problem is that the vairables are not being passed as I expect but I cannot work out how to see the intermediate SQL in the stored proc... in oracle there used to be some sort of set feedback on option which meant that all SQL which was being run was shown... is there some way of doing this in SQL Server 2005?
Thanks
Hi Folks,
I'm using SQL Server 2005 Express and I need to debug my stored prodedure. I've been reading online that it can be done in the Express edition but no one explains how to do it. There's plenty of instructions online on how to debug stored procedure in the other versions of SQL Server 2005. Do any of you know how to do it?
Thanks in advance
In VS 2005 with SQL Server Express: How do I debug a stored procedure that is called from a object datasource control while the asp.net code is running? Thanks
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
This Might be a really simple thing, however we have just installed SQL server 2005 on a new server, and are having difficulties with the set up of the Store Procedures. Every time we try to modify an existing stored procedure it attempts to save it as an SQL file, unlike in 2000 where it saved it as part of the database itself.
Thank you in advance for any help on this matter
Hi for all
i just get the news that the Dec. CTP of SQL Server 2005 & tools is released !
but my dream is to see debugging stored procedure support inside the SSMSE as debugging applications inside Visual Studio 2005
Many many many thanks to Microsoft and for the great efforts on the cool products

To the Moderator:
I am not sure if this thread needs to go into this forum or there is one for C# stored procedures/CLR Database Objects.
To All:
Is this a known issue that when debugging CLR stored procedures the VS 2005 freezes even before reaching into the stored procedure? I can restart my computer and debugging works for a while and then it starts to take forever when I step into (F10) during debugging. I am running only one instance of sql server, and even that of my local machine as I have never been able to debug on a remote server.
This random and unstable behavior of the debugger is proving very unproductive and costly. Is there a microsoft update/fix/patch to make debugging CLR stored procedures a smooth process?
Thanks.

Anyone give give me the steps we have to follow for debussing a stored procedure in sql server 2005...
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?
I need help debugging a CLR stored procedure that is being called from an SSIS package. I can debug the procedure itself from within Visual Studio by using "Step into stored procedure" from Server Explorer, but really need to debug it as it is being called from SSIS.

Can anybody explain how to do debug a stored procedure from SQL Query Analyser.
When i tried opening Query Analyser and pressing F8 i am able to see Object Browser on left side, i selected the d/b and expanded it then i selected a stored procdure by right click of mouse. I selected "Debug".
It shows me alert msg "SQL Debugging may not work properly if you log on as 'Local System Account' while SQl server is configured to run as a service. You can open Event Viewer to see details." DO U WISH TO CONTINUE- I selected "YES"
I am able to see 3 split windows on right side and GO, Toggle, Untoggle are enabled BUT Step Into, Step Over, Step Out...Stop debugging are disabled at menu bar.
The 1st right split window shows the proc code, 2nd split window shows Local-Global-Callstack none of them shows any values(blank), 3rd split window shows records(result) and
@RETURN_VALUE = 0 message
I had Toggled at each and every line of the procedure in 1st split window still it doesnt respond anything.
What might be the problem, how to solve it do i need to give any permissions.
i tried logging from wind Authentication and also from Sql Authentication (sa/sa), still same problem occurs. By the way i am using SQL Server 2000.
Pls help me out
Thanks in advance

Using SQL 2005, SP2. All of a sudden, whenever I create any stored procedures in the master database, they get created as system stored procedures. Doesn't matter what I name them, and what they do.
For example, even this simple little guy:
CREATE PROCEDURE BOB
AS
PRINT 'BOB'
GO
Gets created as a system stored procedure.
Any ideas what would cause that and/or how to fix it?
Thanks,
Jason
I have an insert stored procedure which creates a customer. The customer has a ID which is an autonumber within the SQL server table.
I want to output this value to use this to update another table. How do I output a value of an insert query which i am not passing in as it's an autonumber ??
I am sure someone has come accross this before. Is it a trigger solution ?? Any ideas very welcome.
