How to display sql query that ran in query?

Question

I have come across a function before that displayed the exact SQL code that was used in a loop for example, but can't remember.

Can anybody tell me that function?

Cheers

Answer 1

Hi @Keith Donegan:

If I understand your question correctly I think this is what you are looking for?

<?php echo $GLOBALS['wp_query']->request; ?>

$wp_query is a global variable that contains the current query run by the loop. If you run the above code anytime while the loop is still active or even right after the loop it should give you the SQL from the loop. Just make sure you inspect it before letting something else run that uses query_posts() again.

Answer 2

See this answer: Best Collection of Code for your functions.php file

Then add ?debug=sql to any WP URL, and it'll output the full list of queries that were run. (And yes, it's scary...)

Answer 3

If you ran a query based on WP_Query, it's this:

$customPosts = new WP_Query($yourArgs);
echo "Last SQL-Query: {$customPosts->request}";

Answer 4

If you are only interested in Loops this is what I usually use:

add_filter( 'posts_request', 'dump_request' );

function dump_request( $input ) {

    var_dump($input);

    return $input;
}

Put_Line

Processing Queries with PL/SQL Processing a SQL query with PL/SQL is like processing files with other languages. For example, a Perl program opens a file, reads the file contents, processes each line, then closes the file. In the same way, a PL/SQL program issues a query and processes the rows from the result set as shown in Example 1-5.

Example 1-5 Processing Query Results in a LOOP

BEGIN FOR someone IN (SELECT * FROM employees WHERE employee_id < 120 ) LOOP DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('First name = ' || someone.first_name || ', Last name = ' || someone.last_name); END LOOP; END; /
