If you are using SQL Server 2016 or newer, you can also select it as JSON result and display it in JSON Visualizer, it's much easier to read it than in XML and allows you to filter results.

DECLARE @v nvarchar(max) = (SELECT * FROM Suppliers FOR JSON AUTO)

In the Stored Procedure create a global temporary table   temptable and write an insert query within your stored procedure which inserts the data in your table into this temporary table   Once this is done you can check the content of the temporary table by opening a new query window   Just use  select   from   temptable

Sorry guys  I m a little late to the party but for anyone that stumbles across this question at a later date  I ve found the easiest way to do this in a stored procedure is to    Create a new query with any procedure parameters declared and initialised at the top  Paste in the body of your procedure  Add a good old fashioned select query immediately after your table variable is initialised with data  If 3  is not the last statement in the procedure  set a breakpoint on the same line  start debugging and continue straight to your breakpoint  Profit     messi19 s answer should be the accepted one IMHO  since it is simpler than mine and does the job most of the time  but if you re like me and have a table variable inside a loop that you want to inspect  this does the job nicely without too much effort or external SSMS plugins
