Django Show the Raw SQL Query Running

To see the raw SQL queries Django is running, do the following:

In your settings file (typically settings.py), ensure DEBUG is set to True

DEBUG = True

Then import connection from django.db and print connection.queries

import pprint

from django.db import connection

pprint.pprint(connection.queries)

If your queries are slowing you down, look into using select_related() to follow foreign keys

Also: >>> queryset = MyModel.objects.all() >>> print queryset.query SELECT "myapp_mymodel"."id", ... FROM "myapp_mymodel"

from django.db import connection print connection.queries works for the update() command as well.
