LLBLGen viewing generated SQL statement

Question

I'm using LLBLGen to access a SQL Express database using LLBLGen runtime framework. Using Visual Studio 2010.

I have created a predicate expression, however It does not seem to be doing what I thought it should, how can I view the Generated SQL sent to the database?

thank you in advance.

Answer 1

For 2.6:

You will want to use the ORMPersistenceExecution switch.

If it's another version, all the docs can be found here:

Answer 2

You can enable the build-in tracing, which you can configure like this (the value being the log level threshold):

<system.diagnostics>
    <switches>
        <add name="SqlServerDQE" value="3" />
        <add name="AccessDQE" value="4" />
        <add name="OracleDQE" value="4" />
        <add name="FirebirdDQE" value="4" />
        <add name="MySqlDQE" value="4" />
        <add name="DB2DQE" value="4" />
        <add name="PostgreSqlDQE" value="4" />
        <add name="SybaseAsaDQE" value="4" />
        <add name="SybaseAseDQE" value="4" />
        <add name="ORMGeneral" value="0" />
        <add name="ORMStateManagement" value="0" />
        <add name="ORMPersistenceExecution" value="3" />
        <add name="LinqExpressionHandler" value="3" />
    </switches>
</system.diagnostics>

I can also recommend getting a profiler if you're doing a lot of development/debugging:
