SSMS breakpoint won't add

  • I'm having an issue in SSMS 2014 where I'm trying to debug a sql script and everytime I try to add a breakpoint ssms becomes unresponsive and won't add the breakpoint. I then have to close ssms via  the task manager. Any recommendations on what could be the source problem?

    Have you properly configured the debugger?

    Are you debugging using this? :
    Setting breakpoints in SSMS

    Also have you tried turning off intellisense to see if that makes a difference with the unresponsiveness?

  • What references are available to determine if the debugger is properly configured?

  • I should add that I was running the debugger and setting breakpoints successfully and stepping through code and hour before this problem started. I received no error messages or indication of a problem until ssms started to freeze when setting a breakpoint.

  • It's possible that it just ran out of RAM.   It's not real good at that.   Just trying to copy and paste a sufficiently large result set can cause SSMS to crash.

  • RAM was checked and I was only using about half.

    RAM was checked and I was only using about half.

    That doesn't mean that SSMS had enough.   It will only use so much, and if it needs more, you are out of luck.   It's only a 32-bit program.  If it were 64-bit, this would be a different conversation.
