Yii - How to print SQL used by findAll

Question

I have the following code to get some records from db

    $criteria = new CDbCriteria();
    $criteria->condition = \'t.date BETWEEN \"\'.$from_date.\'\"          


        

Answer 1

If you don't want to execute the query before seeing the SQL, this isn't actually as easy as you might hope.

It's as dirty as wrong but, when in development only, I have in the past taken to adding a deliberate a deliberate error in the criteria and relying on the resulting Exception to give the SQL attempted.

e.g.

$criteria = new CDbCriteria();
$criteria->condition = 't.date_fgjhfgjfgj BETWEEN :from_date AND :to_date';
$criteria->params = array(
  ':from_date' => $from_date,
  ':to_date' => $to_date,
);
$criteria->with = array('order');
$orders = ProductOrder::model()->findAll($criteria);

I have found Ilya's method to be unreliable (don't know why, but sometimes the criteria is ignored using this method).
