Laravel 4 SQL log / console

Question

Is there something similar in Laravel that allows you to see the actual SQL being executed? In Rails, for example, you can see the SQL in console. In Django you have a tool

Answer 1

I came up with a really simple way (if you are using php artisan serve and PHP 5.4) - add this to app/start/local.php:

DB::listen(function($sql, $bindings, $time)
{
    file_put_contents('php://stderr', "[SQL] {$sql} in {$time} s\n" . 
                      "      bindinds: ".json_encode($bindings)."\n");
});

but hoping to find a more official solution.

This will print SQL statements like this:

[SQL] select 1 in 0.06s
