Question

Although I have been able to see the last ran query which is a Stored Procedure executed but I didn’t get the parameters values with which the SP was invoked. Rather I got the following:

StoredProcedureName;1

from the following command:

DBCC INPUTBUFFER(SPID)

Where I got the SPID by viewing it in the ObjectExplorer->Management->ActivityMonitor

Is there any way I can get the complete text including the parameters with which the SP was executed ?

I know this answer may not be what you are looking for, as it doesn’t really answer your question, I took a leap of thought and ended up thinking this might help.

I don’t know how many queries you have and how big your program is… but for debugging purposes I wanted to do something similar for all of my queries, both plain text and stored procedures. So I wrote a simple wrapper class that lets me execute plain text queries/stored procs with and without parameters. Then, if an execption occurs, I trap it, build a new custom exception with the original exception plus the query that was executed and all parameters, and return it all in a custom message. I’m using Oracle in my wrapper but it’s almost exactly the same:

Public Function ExecuteCommandQuery(ByRef oCMD As OracleClient.OracleCommand) As DataTable
    oCMD.Connection = _oConn

    Dim dt As New DataTable

    'exception if one occured'
    Dim DBException As Exception = Nothing

    Try
        'get an adapter'
        Dim cmd As New OracleDataAdapter(oCMD)
        'Fill the data table and ket a count of records returned'
        cmd.Fill(dt)

    Catch ex As Exception
        'capture exception, and rethrow after properly closing the Oracle Connection'
        DBException = ex
    Finally
        _oConn.Close()
    End Try

    'if exception occured, rethrow'
    If DBException IsNot Nothing Then
        Throw New Exception( _
            String.Format("A database error occured: {0} " + _
                          Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + " --- " + _
                          Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + _
                          " Your query: {1}" + _
                          Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + " --- " + _
                          Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine + _
                          " Your Parameters: " + Environment.NewLine + "{2}" _
                          , DBException.ToString(), oCMD.CommandText, GenerateParameterErrorInfo(oCMD)))
    End If

    Return dt
End Function
