Disable PRINT in SQL Server

Question

I have a script with many debug messages, which are printed by PRINT function. Is there any way to disable that messages? I have in mind something like SE

Answer 1

Sometimes the simplest solution is the best... Make all your print statements that deal with debugging as follows:

PRINT 'Debug ' + [WhateverStatementsYouDesire]

Then you can do a search and replace

PRINT 'Debug ' --> --PRINT 'Debug '

Do the opposite Find and Replace to turn them back on again...

(I do realize this is not quite what you were asking for but here is what I do for now. If there is such a switch as you are searching for I would probably change to that method.)
