About Debugging SQL

Use the Debugger to debug any script that contains a procedure, or function, regardless of the SQL included in the script (i.e., SELECT statements).

Note: You cannot debug CLR stored procedures.

To debug SQL

See Set Up Debugging for more information..
Right-click a procedure in the Object Explorer and select Debug.
Set start parameters.

Tip: You can manually set start parameters at anytime by clicking in the Debug toolbar.

Configure Debugger Options

To...	Use this Option Page...
Set an option so function calls are not evaluated when hovering the cursor over watches	Debugger \| General
Select a default desktop configuration that displays when starting or ending a debugging session	Debugger \| General

Tips:

If you have not set a breakpoint, clicking runs the SQL script to completion without stopping.
If you try to run a debug script, you are prompted to set start parameters to use as an entry point, as well as provide values for any required parameters.
