I am using a simple query in ActiveRecord which does something like this. 

MyTable.find(:all, :conditions => {:start_date => format_time(params[:date]) })

I want to get the equivalent query that is executed in the background, perhaps using a puts statement or something similar to that. MySQL is my database.

    You can see the SQL query that is executed by viewing the development log located in log/development.log. Note that the script/server command tails this log file by default.

    • In Rails 3 you can append a .to_sql method call to the end of the finder to output the SQL.

    • Alternatively, New Relic‘s free RPM Lite gem lets you see the SQL queries in developer mode as well as lots of other useful performance tuning information.
