Question

As per the Service Stack Ormlite documentation. I should generate the sql query in debug mode. But, I am not able to see those queries. Simple code

 private static readonly string DataDirLoc =
        Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) +
        "\\TargetIntegration\\Test\\Debug\\";



    private readonly string dbFileName = DataDirLoc +
                                              "Test.db3";

    [Test]
    public void Can_Generate_log() {
        //var writer = new TextWriterTraceListener(System.Console.Out);
        //Debug.Listeners.Add(writer);
        Debug.Write("this is a try");
        var dbFact = new OrmLiteConnectionFactory("Data Source={0};Version=3;".FormatParams(dbFileName), true,
                                                  SqliteOrmLiteDialectProvider.Instance);
          IDbConnection dbConnection = dbFact.OpenDbConnection();
       var dbCommand = dbConnection.CreateCommand();
        dbCommand.CreateTable<Contact>();
    }

You would need the debug build of OrmLite to see the SQL output.
There are a couple of other ways you can view the last sql:

Console.WriteLine(dbCmd.GetLastSql());

You can also profile the db connection by setting a connection filter, which you can do with:

var dbFact = new OrmLiteConnectionFactory(
   "Data Source={0};Version=3;".Fmt(dbFileName), true, 
   SqliteOrmLiteDialectProvider.Instance) {
   ConnectionFilter = x => new ProfiledDbConnection(x, Profiler.Current)
};

Which if you ran this in ServiceStack will let you see the profiled timing outputs of all the SQL statements. An example of what this looks like is available here:
