How can I retrieve the SQL during each model action?

Rails
1

Hi,

I would like to know for each running model action, how can I retrieve
the SQL running behind? I don’t want to scan log each time for the sql
running behind.
E.g. post.find(:all,:conditions=>{:id=>‘1’}

I wanna debug the sql generated behind, is that other shorthand
function like post.find().show_sql() that enable
us to view what’s SQL generated ?

Thanks

That sounds like a good idea. Perhaps a
:log => :instance_variable_name option to find.

One alternative is the query_trace plugin that displays
a backtrace for each query, so that the log shows what
line of code is associated with each query.

If you are using the console, you can type:

set_logger_to Logger.new(STDOUT)

An output example:

Page.find(:all, :conditions=>{:id=>1})
SQL (0.000093) SET SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL=0
Page Load (0.000112) SELECT * FROM pages WHERE (pages.id =

Page Columns (0.001215) SHOW FIELDS FROM pages
=> [#<Page id: 1, …

Thanks for the valuable reply. But I found myself most comfortable
with:

  1. Netbeans debugging
  2. ruby-debug (#54 Debugging with ruby-debug - RailsCasts
    debug)
  3. rdebug with textmate

That’s sum out my findings. Hope it helps. But, personally speaking,
it will glad to have a shorthand function for developer to dump out
the sql generated on the fly,
as it effectively save time for browsing the log, run the debugger in
console…cheers!
