You could put in PRINT Statements at certain points in the code of the
function. Execute it from isqlw and test it. If Im not mistaken, step by step
debugging is possible from Visual Interdev.

Debugging TSQL Stored Procedures

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?

Thanks in advance,

Mark

No you need VS 2005 to debug SQL 2005.|||T-SQL Stored Procedure in 2005 can only be done with VSS 2005? Aargh

... I agree, this is a step backawards. Looking at my machien, I see

our company base install has included VSS, but it seems only for

Integration Services, Analysis Services and Reporting Services.

What do I need to do to get it to include the SQL 'component' into VSS?|||

I think you mis-read Euan's post, he said you need VS 2005, as in Visual Studio. Only one "S"; different that VSS for Visual Source Safe. Different thing altogether.

I know ... you under-estimate the power of the typo and the rushing poster :-)

I was rushing the post, and didn't check what I was typing too clearly - a bad habit! I do know (and have used) Visual Source Safe ... and do have VS 2005 installed.

Now I just need to understand what I need to do to get it to open the SQL solution I have created - when I try to open projects, the extensions listed cover Integration Services, etc. etc. but not SQL project.

Thanks for trying to help me back onto the path - and again, sorry for the mistaken acronyms...

Thanks Euan. Going to arrange that now.

Debugging T-SQL Codes

Hi,
How can I use query analyzer to debug my codes and stored procedures. I need
something like debug tools of VB(watching line by line execution). Are such
tools available for SQL server?
Thanks,
AminYes, for stored procedures., In Query Analyzer, Object Browser, right-click
the procedure and you'll find the debugger.

Debugging triggers, how?

I could find that its possible to debug stored procedures in SQl server
2000, but did not find any place in BOL where it was explained if it was
even possible to debug (step through and verify values obtained as well as
detect programming errors other than syntax errors) triggers. Is it
possible, if so where do I find Info on how?
Thanks fir any help,
BobBob,
I believe the Transact-SQL Debugger does not work directly with triggers.
However, I believe I read somewhere that it will work if the stored
procedure is being debugged and it fires the trigger.
Other possible options may include embedding additional t-shooting code in
the trigger i.e., RAISERROR or SELECT (INSERTED/DELETED).

Hi Bob,
Jerry is right:
1. Create a procedure that performs an insert, update or delete that
would fire the trigger.
2. Debug the stored procedure
3. Step into the trigger.

(Remove _NO_ and _SPAM_ to get my e-mail address)|||Jerry is correct.
You can't debug triggers directly but if you are debugging a stored proc and
a trigger is fired, then it will step in debug mode inside the trigger.

Debugging triggers on views in SQL Server 2005?

I am trying to debug an "INSTEAD OF INSERT" trigger on a view in SQL Server
2005. I setup a stored procedure to insert to the view, then (in Visual
Studio) put a stop in the stored procedure. This works fine, until I try to
step into the trigger. Then it tells me that no code is available.
If I try in Visual Studio 2005 to set a breakpoint on this trigger, it won't
allow me, saying "A breakpoint could not be inserted at this location".
This only happens for any trigger on the view. If I try to set a breakpoint
on a trigger on a table, it works fine.
Does anyone know a way around this? I really would like to step though the
trigger on the view.Is anyone going to respond to this? I thought these news groups were managed
and a response could be expected in 48 hours.

MSDN subscriber and posted this using the account you registered when you
signed up for managed newsgroups, you should get a response within 2
business days. If you don't, the FAQ page points you at
