  We recently transitioned to SQL Server 2008 and I'm trying to take advantage of the table-valued parameters. My problem is, I'm not sure how to manually supply a table-valued parameter when I'm trying to debug--step into--the stored procedure from Management Studio or VS 2010. Hopefully there's a simple solution.

  Thanks.

  You can just declare a variable of your type and then run some inserts to populate it.

  declare @myTable myTableType

  insert @myTable

  select...[whatever data you need to make your type]

  select * from @myTable

  Thanks. I guess I was making it more complicated that it needed to be.
