SQL Debugging Menu Items

Feature Only in Enterprise Edition   This feature is supported only in Visual C++ Enterprise Edition. For more information, see .

Commands for SQL debugging are on the Debug menu, the Build menu, the View menu, and the Edit menu.

The Debug menu appears in the menu bar while the debugger is running (even if it is stopped at a breakpoint). From the Debug menu, you can control program execution and access the QuickWatch window.

When the debugger is not running, the Build menu replaces the Debug menu. The Build menu has a command called Start Debug, which lists a subset of the commands on the full Debug menu. These commands start debugging (Go, Step Into, and Run To Cursor). For a description of the Debug menu commands and the Debug commands on the Build menu, see Controlling SQL Execution.

The View menu contains the Debug Windows command with commands that display the various debugger windows, such as the Variables window and the Memory window. For more information about the debugger windows, see Viewing and Modifying SQL Variables.

From the Edit menu, you can access the Breakpoints dialog box, from which you can insert, remove, enable, or disable different types of breakpoints. For details, see Using Breakpoints with SQL Source.

A shortcut menu appears when you click the right mouse button in a debugger window. This menu lists commonly used commands applicable to that window.
