Debugging a SQL Script

Last modified: October 30, 2023

This topic explains how to debug SQL scripts using debugger integrated into dbForge Studio for Oracle.

To debug a SQL script:

1. Open the required script in the SQL editor.
2. On the Debug menu, click Start.
3. Set a breakpoint on any line of executable code.

If a statement is invalid, an error message appears in the error list, though debugging process continues. You can use different step commands of the Debug menu to trace an SQL script.

To debug an SQL script, you don’t need any special privileges, except for the privileges, required for execution of the script statements.

You can use the Watches pane to view server and session variables during SQL script debugging.
