How do I get the raw SQL statement from a query object in Propel? I need this for debugging purposes.
For example: I would like to have a function as in
$rawSql = new BookQuery::create()->filterById(25)->getRawSql();
Does something like this exist?
DB::QueryLog() works only after you execute the query using $builder->get() . If you want to get the raw query before or without executing the query, you can use the $builder->toSql() method.
Raw SQL queries are useful if the query you want can't be expressed using LINQ. Raw SQL queries are also used if using a LINQ query is resulting in an inefficient SQL query. Raw SQL queries can return regular entity types or keyless entity types that are part of your model.
Conclusion. Raw SQL is for sure the most powerful way to interact with your database as it is the databases native language. The drawback is that you might use features which are specific to that database, which makes a future database switch harder.
Yes; you're after the toString
method from the Criteria parent class:
$rawSql = (new BookQuery)::create()->filterById(25)->toString();
As @jakerella says, the specific values you use for filtering will be bound by the database engine, rather than Propel, and so you'll see the structure of the query but not exactly what will be executed. If you want to see that, then you can check your database query logs, if they're enabled.
