Logging Queries to Console

Reported by Paul Mucur | November 9th, 2007 @ 09:17 AM

There does not seem to be an easy way to set DataMapper to log the SQL queries it is performing to the console. This would be particularly useful when using it in conjunction with Merb via the merb_datamapper gem (so perhaps this falls into their purview).

Specifically, it would be nice to replicate the technique described by Jamis Buck in Watching ActiveRecord Do Its Thing which involves the following simple method call:

ActiveRecord::Base.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT)

The closest I managed to get with DataMapper 0.2.3 (and merb_datamapper 0.4.3) was to manually set the logger on line 209 of lib/data_mapper/database.rb but, while it logged some messages to the console, it returned the same information for two different queries:

>> Order[1]
