The following describe the Locals and Watch windows, two debugger windows you can use while debugging a SQL object.debugger.

  • You can edit the values of the variables in the Locals and Watch windows as the SQL object runs. However, to change the value of a char, nchar, varchar or nvarchar field inside a database object written in T-SQL, do not enclose the string in quotation marks. Enclose strings in quotation marks for SQL common language runtime (CLR) objects.

  • In SQL objects, you can set expressions in the Watch window, but you cannot set such expressions in a T-SQL object.

    Note

    The server may not reflect changes to values of variables in the debugger windows. For more information, see SQL Debugging Limitations.
