The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for debugging structured query language (SQL) statements. One computer-implemented method includes receiving a request to fetch a debug execution plan considering different structured query language (SQL) execution optimization levels and including a mapping for a SQL statement, receiving a request to initialize a debugging process of the SQL statement, verifying received and attached filter criteria provided using a SQL debug channel, setting SQL statement breakpoints, triggering the SQL statement, transmitting a notification that a SQL process is attached to a debugger associated and ready for external execution control, providing state details and an intermediate result upon reaching a particular breakpoint associated with the SQL process, providing an ability to change the process state and influence the process, and providing a SQL final execution response after reaching the end of the execution of the triggered SQL statement.
