I am trying to debug a t-SQL function. I am supposed to have both Enterprise Manager for SQL 2000, and Management Studio for SQL 2005, on my computer. In the books-online for SQL 2000 there is a reference to a T-SQL debugger which does all the things that you'd expect: checkpoints, ablility to stop and examine data, etc. I don't seem to have books-online for SQL 2005 - I merely get "help on Help" which is rather useless.
Anyway, how do I get this debugger to work? I can't find anything in either Enterprise Manager or Management Studip.
Thanks, Robert Barnes
Hello, I am a beginner of sorts to SQL 2000/5, and wanted to know if anyone could point me in the right direction in getting a book that explains, and instructs you on writing queries? (I would also want the book to have some examples and practices).
This procedure will work if @Tablename is replaced by a literal. It all works except the last line when the variable @TableName is passed How can I pass a variable @Tablename and get the last line to work?
CREATE PROCEDURE spDropTable @TableName char(50) as if exists( select * from sysobjects where id = object_id(@TableName)) select "Table Exists "= @TableName drop table @TableName
I want to pass my stored proc a list, and either loop through it as a list or (better) turn it into an array and loop through it that way to insert it. Psuedocode would be...
Loop from 0 to ListLength begin INSERT Transaction_Data end
Can some one point me in the right direction? I need to execute a DTS package after a set of T-SQL statements run in a stored procedure. The starting of the DTS package needs to be the last thing executed/called from the stored procedure.
Anyone know of any third party T-SQL debuggers for stepping through stored procedures? I understand there is one with VB6, but a student in my class doesn't work with VB. TIA.
Hi, I've just read in books on line that in Query Analyser there is a debugger tool. Unfortunately I can't work out how to access and use it. Can any one send me some info on this please.
Once I open my TSQL Debugger all the icons are disables ( Step Into , Step Over ). This is the fisrt time I am using it can you please point be in the right direction.
This happens after giving the Input parameters in the Dubug Window for the Stored Procedure and when I click the EXECUTE button.
NOTE : This happeds when I lauch the Debugger from the ClIENT Machines. If I run the debugger on the server directly it works fine. Am I missing any of the DLLs
I'm trying to get the T-SQL Debugger to work between SQL Server 7 and Visual Studio 6.0.
First of all, I am confused by the various articles I have read in MSDN. Some indicate that the debugger will work in Visual Basic and some indicate Visual Interdev. Does it work in both environments? After following all of the steps listed in the MSDN articles I cannot get the T-SQL Debugger to appear in my Add-Ins window in Visual Basic. Is there something else I need to do?
Secondly, I can see my stored procedures in Visual Interdev and once I open one in the editor the only commands enabled on the DEBUG menu are Clear All Breakpoints, Breakpoints... and Processes.... According to one of the MSDN articles I should see all of the DEBUG menu commands enabled. Any ideas what I can do to get the rest of the menu commands enabled?
Also, I can set a breakpoint in a stored procedure by clicking in the gray area to the left of the line of code where I want the debugger to stop. The red dot appears next to the line of code. But when I execute the stored procedure the debugger asks for the parameters but never stops at the breakpoint. It runs the stored procedure to completion.
I would appreciate any ideas on how to get this working.
Can anyone tell me besttool for debugging the Stored Procedure user friendly. We are using Powerbuilder/Sql Server 6.5 as back end. we got lots of stored procedures and I am having tough time in debugging. I actually moved from Oracle and don't know much about Sqlserver just started learning.
If anyone tell me best tool,method for doing then I will be very greatful
I can get the debugger to work: I get a message:"sp debugging may not work if you log as as Local System Account" whileSQL Service is configured to run as a service. You can open Event Viwerto see details." (Viwer means "Viewer" this is not one of my typos...)My text book says that this message means there is a problem that canbe fixed in the SQL Server registration node (just under the servergroup in Enterprise Manager), Properties dialog, Security tab, Start UpService.The book says to enter a valid user account and password in the StartUp Service area. However, there is in my case a "LocalSystem" and anencrypted password entered in this area and and I have no idea howthese got in there.I assume the latter are default settings from when SQL wasinstalled...Can I can this to "sa" and no password? I'm afraid tochange the existing setting if I don't understand what it is and whereit came from..Thank you **very** much for help...I would like to use the debugger.J.
Hi,When I debug our sp by using T-SQL Debugger, I got following error.Server: Msg 229, Level 14, State 5, Procedure sp_sdidebug, Line 1[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]EXECUTE permissiondenied on object 'sp_sdidebug', database 'master', owner 'dbo'.and when I grant the permission of sp_sdidebug, I got following error.Server: Msg 4610, Level 16, State 1, Line 1You can only grant or revoke permissions on objects in the currentdatabase.I am using following statement to grant the permission.GRANT EXECUTEON sp_sdidebugTO myuserHere, I want to clear, myuser is I, which one i log QA.and myuser has public and dbowner permission--Rahul
I'm using the Transact-SQL Debugger for the first time here.I go to Object Browser, find my stored procedure, right click andchoose "Debug".The "Debug Procedure" window comes up, and I click on the Executebutton.The Debug environment comes up and automatically executes myprocedure. It doesn't allow me to single step through the code.What am I missing here?All of the "step" buttons, "restart", and "stop debugging" buttonsare dimmed out.Thanks.Ken
I am using Visual Studio 2005, and I go to server explorer and make a new connection to a database. I select a stored procedure and right mouse click.
There is no menu item called "Step Into ... " in the pop up menu. So what am I missing? Do I have to install or set up something in order to use Transact SQL Debugger?
Any pointer or answer is greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.
I installed the SQL 2000 trial as a local server on a standalone XP Pro system. When use the debugger, it executes the stored procedure without allowing me to step into the code.
hi all I'm working on a complicated activex script which is a part of a DTS package. Are there some debuggers around that could help make the task easier? Specifically I'm looking for an ActiveX script debugger. Can somebody point me to a tutorial or something? Regards
Transact-sql debugger comes with sqlserver 2000. I checked my server and all the dll;s are loaded correctly, sqldbreg process is running. I also configured the client correctly. How do I invoke this debugger? Which settings you change to get to the toolbar for the debugger in query anayl..
At Sql Server Live, I saw Sharon Dooley using the debugger in Query Analyzer, but now that I've tried it I can't step an sp, instead, I get....Quote:
SP 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 Viwer to see details.
Do you wish to continue?

(This is prob. a really dumb question but it's driving me mad!!...)
I am using the Debugger in SQL Query Analyzer & want to set the value of a datetime parameter prior to executing the stored proc. The "Debug procedure" window allows me to specify the parameter values - but I can't get it to accept a datetime. The language is us_english & I've tried most ways if specifying the date - 01/02/2004, with/out quotes, 02 Jan 2004, as a full datetime, swapping day/month values etc etc. The procedure always fails immediately with: Invalid character value for cast specification.
Hi all, I'm trying to debug storedprocedures in query analyzer from workstation, login with server adminuser.Debugger is not stoping at break points. any help regarding this will be greatly appreciated. thanks.
On my development maching, I have three different SQL Server instances:..SQL2000..SQL2005EXPRESS..SQL2005When i try to debug a stored procedure in Query Analyzer, I get thefollowing error:"Server: Msg 508, Level 16, State 1, Procedure sp_sdidebug, Line 1[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Unable to connect to debuggeron MYPCSQL2000 (Error = 0x800401f3).

Environment:SQLServer Developer Edition on Machine AEnterprise Manager running on remote machine BBoth machines are in the same subnetI open Enterprise Mgr on Machine A, right click on the Stored Proc, enterthe parameters and the debugger stops on the first line and I can singlestep through it just fine.I open Enterprise Mgr on Machine B and connect to the same database onMachine B, right click on the same Stored Proc, enter the same parametersand the debugger doesn't stop, but it runs the proc al the way through.Even if I set a break point on one of the lines from this machine it doesn'tstop. I don't get any errors, it just runs right thought the proc.I've been through all the DCOM settings, Logins with Admin rights and not aSYSTEM account. Checked all the debug files and have them all registered.Anyone else expericened this? Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?-Steve
I am trying to use the Transact-SQL debugger to step through a stored procedure on a server to determine where it is failing. I right-click the stored procedure I want to debug in the Query Analyzer's Object Browser and choose Debug... In the Debug Procedure dialog I fill in the values for the parameters, choose the Auto roll back checkbox, and press Execute.
The T-SQL Debugger screen comes up with my stored procedure and a message on the bottom of Waiting for user input. But I can input nothing, neither click on the icons on top, set breakpoints, or doing anything else, as the stored procedure runs to the end and gives me the return code.
If I subsequently set some breakpoints in my stored procedure and try the Go button. Once again the stored procedure runs to the end without stopping at any breakpoint.
In both cases, the stored procedure shows the waiting icon as it proceeds to the end, so that I can not click on anything to stop it.
I have been told this is may be a permissions issue between myself as a client on my machine and the stored procedure on the server. If so, does anybody know what I the things that have to be done on the permissions side to be able to debug the stored procedure using the Transact SQL debugger.
Hi,Before stepping into ado.net code to perform an insert or update, the insert / update has already taken place, just on starting the debugger. I use VS 2005 on SQL Server 2000. This did not happen with VS 2003 and SQL Server 2000.Anyone else encountered this?
I am using MSSQL 2000 and trying to debug a stored procedure that has a #temp table in it. I am using the .NET SQL debugger and I would like to display or view the contents of the #temp table while debugging. Does anyone know how to do this?
