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

doctrine, doctrine-query, mysql, orm, php

Solution

Doctrine is not sending a "real SQL query" to the database server : it is actually using prepared statements, which means :

- Sending the statement, for it to be prepared (this is what is returned by `$query->getSql()`)

- And, then, sending the parameters (returned by `$query->getParameters()`)

- and executing the prepared statements

This means there is never a "real" SQL query on the PHP side — so, Doctrine cannot display it.

Problem

We're using Doctrine, a PHP ORM. I am creating a query like this: ``` $q = Doctrine_Query::create()->select('id')->from('MyTable'); ``` and then in the function I'm adding in various where clauses and things as appropriate, like this ``` $q->where('normalisedname = ? OR name = ?', array($string, $originalString)); ``` Later on, before `execute()`-ing that query object, I want to print out the raw SQL in order to examine it, and do this: ``` $q->getSQLQuery(); ``` However that only prints out the prepared statement, not the full query. I want to see what it is sending to the MySQL, but instead it is printing out a prepared statement, including `?`'s. Is there some way to see the 'full' query?
