looks like there is an issue on some stored procedure I developed so I need to debug it, I was wondering if writing in a text file some entries when the SP is running it would be helpful, not sure, so if you can shed some light on this would be appreciated too.

Let's say I choose to write down debugging log files, I should develop a specific stored proc or is there someone which I can use?

thanks in advance,

I find the syntax for the call to the Sproc (either by catching it from my application, using SQL Profiler, or similar), and then execute it:

BEGIN TRANSACTION

EXEC MySproc @PARAM1='Foo', @PARAM2='Bar'
, @intDebug=1

ROLLBACK

the transaction block ensures that if there is any update it is rolled back - so you can try again as many times as you need to.

All our SProcs have @intDebug parameter which displays info when set. If I need to see more info to debug a problem I add more IF @intDebug > 1 statements ... which are then there for the future too.

We also have a Logging Table in the database which the SProc can insert data into (if it needs to log "peculiar circumstances" during real time running etc.
