Option can be set at the database (PUBLIC) or user level. When set at the database level, the value becomes the default for any new user, but has no impact on existing users. When set at the user level, overrides the PUBLIC value for that user only. No system privilege is required to set option for self. System privilege is required to set at database level or at user level for any user other than self.
Requires the SET ANY PUBLIC OPTION system privilege to set this option. Can be set temporary for an individual connection or for the PUBLIC role. Takes effect immediately.
When the server is started with the -z option, debugging information appears in the server window, including debugging information about the TDS protocol.
SUPPRESS_TDS_DEBUGGING restricts the debugging information about TDS that appears in the server window. When this option is set to OFF (the default), TDS debugging information appears in the server window.
