if I set

<property name="show_sql">true</property>

in my hibernate.cfg.xml configuration file in the console I can see the SQL.

But it’s not real SQL… Can I see the SQL code that will be passed directly to database?

Example:

I see

select this_.code from true.employee this_ where this_.code=?

Can I see

select employee.code from employee where employee.code=12

the real SQL?

Solution:

log4j.properties

log4j.logger.org.hibernate=INFO, hb
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.SQL=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.type=TRACE
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.hql.ast.AST=info
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.tool.hbm2ddl=warn
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.hql=debug
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.cache=info
log4j.logger.org.hibernate.jdbc=debug

log4j.appender.hb=org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender
log4j.appender.hb.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.hb.layout.ConversionPattern=HibernateLog --> %d{HH:mm:ss} %-5p %c - %m%n
log4j.appender.hb.Threshold=TRACE

hibernate.cfg.xml

<property name="show_sql">true</property>
