No debugging on SQL Server 7

  • Query Analyzer's Debugger opens fine for stored procedures on SQL Server 7, but the debugger ignores all breakpoints and always executes the SP completely.

    I am puzzled, because the Helpfile says the debugger supports SQL Server 7. I get no error messages either. Maybe I am doing something wrong ?

    Is there anything to be installed on the Server-Side to make the debugger work on SQL Server 7 ? Maybe it's a matter of just adding a few system stored procs ???

  • What service pack has been applied to the SQL Server 7 installation? Also, is it running under the context of a Windows user (not LocalSystem)?

  • The Server runs 7.00.1077 (i.e.Service Pack 4 plus hot fix 7.00.1077).

    The SQLServer Service uses "system account", my client logs in as SA. I have also tried different user log-ins, but none works. The debugger keeps ignoring all breakpoints.

    Any thoughts ?

  • I just tried myself on SQL 7 SP2, 3 and 4 and none stop. But on SQL 2000 works as should. I checked and found no report of this but being new it may not fully support SQL 7, unfortunately could not test 6.5 for the curious.

    Update here but I haven't had a chance to test what is being stated. But open Event Viewer on the box where SQL Server 7 is installed and see if a message from SQLDebugging98 is in the Application log.

    If so get the details of what it says.
