Hibernate show real SQL [duplicate]

Question

if I set

<property name="show_sql">true</property>

in my hibernate.cfg.xml configuration file in the console I can see the SQL.

But it's not real SQL... Can I see the SQL code that will be passed directly to database?

Example:

I see

select this_.code from true.employee this_ where this_.code=?

Can I see

select employee.code from employee where employee.code=12

the real SQL?

Answer 1

Can I see (...) the real SQL

If you want to see the SQL sent directly to the database (that is formatted similar to your example), you'll have to use some kind of jdbc driver proxy like P6Spy (or log4jdbc).

Alternatively you can enable logging of the following categories (using a log4j.properties file here):

log4j.logger.org.hibernate.SQL=DEBUG log4j.logger.org.hibernate.type=TRACE 

The first is equivalent to hibernate.show_sql=true, the second prints the bound parameters among other things.

log4j.properties

log4j.logger.org.hibernate=INFO, hb
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.SQL=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.type=TRACE

log4j.logger.org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl=warn
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.hql=debug
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.cache=info
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.jdbc=debug

log4j.appender.hb=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender

log4j.appender.hb.layout.ConversionPattern=HibernateLog --> %d{HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c - %m%n

hibernate.cfg.xml

<property name="show_sql">true</property>
<property name="format_sql">true</property>
<property name="use_sql_comments">true</property>

persistence.xml

Some frameworks use persistence.xml:

<property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="true"/>
<property name="hibernate.format_sql" value="true"/>
<property name="hibernate.use_sql_comments" value="true"/>
