This section contains samples demonstrating debugging for all Transact

-SQL database object types.

In the past, Transact-SQL developers often wrote and debugged their Transact-SQL applications by using SQL Query Analyzer. Today, Query Analyzer has been replaced by the SQL Server Management Studio, which has no debugger. Transact-SQL developers now use the Visual Studio 2005 debugger instead.

Developers can also write their Transact-SQL applications in Visual Studio 2005, using a Database project. Whether you write your Transact

-SQL application in Visual Studio 2005 or not, debugging procedures are almost identical.

There are three debugging scenarios to consider:

In order to debug a trigger, you must start your debugging session in a stored procedure. You cannot debug a stand-alone SQL script, have it fire a trigger, and be able to debug the trigger.
