get the SQL to be executed

[Ivano Luberti]

Hello all, is there a way in Torque to get the SQL that is sent to the DB.
I have to generate a txt file where I save queries basically INSERT
statements of long records.
I was thinking of create the Torque classes, populate the objects with
data that I get from a local instance of the DB and then, instead of
using a save command, get the SQL that would be executed and store it in
a file.

Alternatively I could use this:

http://openhms.sourceforge.net/sqlbuilder/

but has dependencies that requires GPL license and I would avoid in this
case that kind of license.

Perhaps you can use the log output (with some tweaks to the log4j
configuration). However I'm not sure how and if Torque 3.3 logs the update
statements. But then again I've heard of drivers which at as a bridge
between the application and the real driver (e.g
http://www.squirrelsql.org/) and which can do the logging for you.

Torque 4 will not work because it uses prepared statements for updates,
this will not give you any sensible sql.

You can use a logging driver such as p6spy to see your SQL statements.

If you are trying to generate an initial data scripts rather
than a "audit log", you might look at the dumpdata and datasql
tasks that Torque supplies.  I have used these to create
initial data sets that applications need (e.g. initial user
entry, rights entry, etc.)

If you need to do this inside the code, you might look at
the apache ddlutils project db.apache.com/ddlutils.  This has
some code callable functions to generate various SQL scripts.

If you don't need SQL, but are really looking for a way to
export/import data between Torque applications, look at
sf.net/projects/torque-addons.  This has a framework for
easily creating XML exports of records.  You may need to
write some record handler code to deal with foreign keys.

Thanks all for your responses.
Just to clarify, I need to generate sql commands inside my code to
generate a file that can be used by another software (not written by me)
to import data.

I would like not to execute commands but only write them (because this
is what I need).
If I cannot find alternatives, I can execute them and use one of the
logging facilities that have been suggested.

Well, inserts are sort of tricky because the actual SQL generation
happens deep inside Village. If you have control over your class loader,
you may modify a copy of the com.workingdogs.village.Record class and
put that first in the chain. Look for the saveWithInsert() method. This
is probably the closest you can get, IMHO.

Bye, Thomas.

Or, if the info you're exporting maps to your Torque app's
tables, you could probably just add "toSQL()" methods to
the record stubs that creates the INSERT statements.

E.g. if you have a User record object, modify the User.java
Torque created with something like:

Public String toSQL() {
   StringBuffer sql = new StringBuffer;
   
// Build SQL statement from current object contents

   return sql.toString();
}

Then just do a normal Torque query to get the data you're
interested in and loop thru the results calling toSQL to
create your output file.

Note that once the "stub" classes are built, Torque will not
replace them if your regenerate the code. So the toSQL() code
is safe.

It would also be possible to create some generic Torque record to
SQL code by using the "map" information.  This lets you determine
the column info in a table.  So you could look up the table info
for a record object, then create the sql by iterating over the
column names and using the column type to determine the string
format to use.

But for a few table objects, it might be easier to just do the
manually created toSQL() methods.

Greg, the problem for me is exactly how to build.
I wanted to avoid buildig them by hand (ie: get the values of all the
field and combining them into a java String or StringBuffer).
But thank you  anyway for the suggestion: if I end up for manually
building statements , now I have a good location where to place my mehtods.
Even though also peer classes can be used for that, couldn't be?
