Proposed Solution
I think MS should review the possibility to bring Debug funcionality inside Management Studio. Much like the debug is in Query Analyzer. I was expecting to found this in recent releases, but found nothing in September CTP. It could work like the debug in Query Analyzer, you right click the procedure in Object Explorer, and have a Debug or Step Into Proc option. This is would be very handy.

Hi vrafael,

I'm pleased to update you, as well as all the other folks that have so passionately voted for this request, that we have added a T-SQL debugger into management studio. Books Online will have the best overall documentation but a quick synopsis of the functionality includes:

- Arbitrary batch debugging (i.e. no SSMS solution needs to be loaded)
- Debugging over multiple batches in a single debug session
- Debug sprocs, functions, and triggers
- Watch window support for local variables
- Set/Clear breakpoints
- Call stack window support

I look forward to your feedback on the functionality. It will be available in the next release of SQL Server 2008.

Kind regards,
Ken Van Hyning
