Debugger

As explained in 100 SQL Server Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

A debugging tool is software functionality that helps inspect execution state and diagnose processing problems.

A debugger helps diagnose stored-procedure bugs by inspecting execution instead of repeatedly commenting out queries, inserting PRINT statements, and simulating parameters. section 7.3

A practical debugging workflow includes:

Use Visual Studio with a SQL Server Database Project and imported database connection. section 7.3
Check the Error List for real-time build and IntelliSense errors. section 7.3

Campaign summary procedure

Debug dbo.CalculateCampaignSummary with CampaignID 22961 and budget 52; inspect its campaign aggregates, identify the faulty calculation, and apply the corrected procedure definition.
