Doctrine - How to print out the real sql, not just the prepared statement?

Question

We\'re using Doctrine, a PHP ORM. I am creating a query like this:

$q = Doctrine_Query::create()->select(\'id\')->from(\'MyTable\');

Answer 1

You can check the query executed by your app if you log all the queries in mysql:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/query-log.html

there will be more queries not only the one that you are looking for but you can grep for it.

but usually ->getSql(); works

Edit:

to view all the mysql queries I use

sudo vim /etc/mysql/my.cnf 

and add those 2 lines:

general_log = on
general_log_file = /tmp/mysql.log

and restart mysql
