Question

I’m using DBIx::Class in a web context and I’d like to display the number of SQL queries performed and the time they took for the rendering of a page.

Any idea about how to implement that?

Answer 1

See the DBIx::Class cookbook on the “Profiling” section for examples on how to do that.

Simply enabling profiling via the DBIC_TRACE=1 environment variable will not do what you want, but you can sub-class DBIx::Class::Storage::Statistics (as per the linked cookbook example) and override query_start and query_end in a way that lets you count the SQL queries done.

The linked example is very close to what you want to achieve.
