How to get fully materialized query from querydsl

Question

I am trying to use querydsl for building dynamic queries for dynamic schemas. I am trying to get just the query instead of having to actually execute it.

So far I ha

When working with QueryDSL, you must provide a template for the database platform to build the query for. I see you are already are doing this here:

private SQLTemplates templates = new MySQLTemplates();
private Configuration configuration = new Configuration(templates); 

To make the schema name appear in the generated query, the only way I have found to do this is (there may be an easier way) is to extend the template class and explicitly call this.setPrintSchema(true); inside the constructor. Here is a class that should work for MySql:

import com.mysema.query.sql.MySQLTemplates;

public class NewMySqlTemplates extends MySQLTemplates {

    public NewMySqlTemplates() {
        super('\\', false);
    }

    public NewMySqlTemplates(boolean quote) {
        super('\\', quote);
    }

    public NewMySqlTemplates(char escape, boolean quote) {
        super(escape, quote);
        this.setPrintSchema(true);
    }

}

Then simply use this NewMySqlTemplates class in place of the MySQLTemplates class like this:

private SQLTemplates templates = new NewMySQLTemplates();
private Configuration configuration = new Configuration(templates); 

I have this working using PostgresTemplates, so I may have a typo or mistake in the NewMySqlTemplates class above, but you should be able to get it to work. Good luck!
