Enabling MySQL general query log with JDBC

Question

Is there a way to enable MySQL general query logging through JDBC? The closest thing I have found through my search is the ability to log slow queries through JDBC (http://d

Answer 1

Using MySQL along with the mysql-connector-java-8.0.13.jar I added the profileSQL=true to my JDBC connection URL. For example:

jdbc:mysql://${HOST}:${PORT}/${SCHEMA}?autoReconnect=true&profileSQL=true

You could also add &logger=com.mysql.cj.log.StandardLogger to the URL, but is not needed because it is the default value as indicated in the documentation.

Documentation reference:

The logging output was annoying to read because it contains a stack trace indicating where exactly in the code the query was run. If anyone figures out a way to exclude the stack trace please let me know.
