This is the one blistering flaw in the whole SQL concept.  When it
doesn't work, you can't set breakpoints to find out why.  With native
I/O, I can always walk through the code line by line to figure out
what's going on, but with SQL, once you get past a certain level of
complexity, it's really trial and error until you get it right (and God
help the person who has to modify your code).
