[java] Get query from java.sql.PreparedStatement

In my code I am using java.sql.PreparedStatement.

I then execute the setString() method to populate the wildcards of the prepared statement.

Is there a way for me to retrieve (and print out) the final query before the executeQuery() method is called and the query is executed? I Just want this for debugging purposes.

For those of you looking for a solution for Oracle, I made a method from the code of Log4Jdbc. You will need to provide the query and the parameters passed to the preparedStatement since retrieving them from it is a bit of a pain:

private String generateActualSql(String sqlQuery, Object... parameters) {
    String[] parts = sqlQuery.split("\\?");
    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

    // This might be wrong if some '?' are used as litteral '?'
    for (int i = 0; i < parts.length; i++) {
        String part = parts[i];
        sb.append(part);
        if (i < parameters.length) {
            sb.append(formatParameter(parameters[i]));
        }
    }

    return sb.toString();
}

private String formatParameter(Object parameter) {
    if (parameter == null) {
        return "NULL";
    } else {
        if (parameter instanceof String) {
            return "'" + ((String) parameter).replace("'", "''") + "'";
        } else if (parameter instanceof Timestamp) {
            return "to_timestamp('" + new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss.SSS").
                    format(parameter) + "', 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss.ff3')";
        } else if (parameter instanceof Date) {
            return "to_date('" + new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss").
                    format(parameter) + "', 'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')";
        } else if (parameter instanceof Boolean) {
            return ((Boolean) parameter).booleanValue() ? "1" : "0";
        } else {
            return parameter.toString();
        }
    }
}

You could try calling toString() on the prepared statement after you've set the bind values.

PreparedStatement query = connection.prepareStatement(aSQLStatement);
System.out.println("Before : " + query.toString());
query.setString(1, "Hello");
query.setString(2, "World");
System.out.println("After : " + query.toString());

This works when you use the JDBC MySQL driver, but I'm not sure if it will in other cases. You may have to keep track of all the bindings you make and then print those out.

Sample output from above code.

Before : com.mysql.jdbc.JDBC4PreparedStatement@fa9cf: SELECT * FROM test WHERE blah1=** NOT SPECIFIED ** and blah2=** NOT SPECIFIED **
After : com.mysql.jdbc.JDBC4PreparedStatement@fa9cf: SELECT * FROM test WHERE blah1='Hello' and blah2='World'

A bit of a hack, but it works fine for me:

Integer id = 2;
String query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id = ?";
PreparedStatement statement = m_connection.prepareStatement( query );
statement.setObject( 1, value );
String statementText = statement.toString();
query = statementText.substring( statementText.indexOf( ": " ) + 2 );

I have made a workaround to solve this problem. Visit the below link for more details http://code-outofbox.blogspot.com/2015/07/java-prepared-statement-print-values.html

Solution:

// Initialize connection
PreparedStatement prepStmt = connection.prepareStatement(sql);

PreparedStatementHelper prepHelper = new PreparedStatementHelper(prepStmt);

// User prepHelper.setXXX(indx++, value);
// .....

try {
   Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("\\?");
   Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(sql);
   StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
   int indx = 1;  // Parameter begin with index 1
   while (matcher.find()) {
 matcher.appendReplacement(sb, prepHelper.getParameter(indx++));
   }
   matcher.appendTail(sb);
   LOGGER.debug("Executing Query [" + sb.toString() + "] with Database[" + /*db name*/ + "] ...");
   } catch (Exception ex) {
    LOGGER.debug("Executing Query [" + sql + "] with Database[" +  /*db name*/+ "] ...");
}

I would assume it's possible to place a proxy between the DB and your app then observe the communication. I'm not familiar with what software you would use to do this.

If you only want to log the query, then add 'logger' and 'profileSQL' to the jdbc url:

&logger=com.mysql.jdbc.log.Slf4JLogger&profileSQL=true

Then you will get the SQL statement below:

The default logger is:

com.mysql.jdbc.log.StandardLogger

Mysql jdbc property list: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-j/en/connector-j-reference-configuration-properties.html

You can add log4jdbc to your project. This adds logging of sql commands as they execute + a lot of other information.
