New Typo3 extension unleashed: cwdblog

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Working with Extbase a lot, I always found it very cumbersome to see the actual SQL queries which were produced by the Persistance layer. One solution would be to turn on MySQLs general log, but this is not very convenient.

So I decided to change that. The result can be found here: cwdblog on GitHub

cwdblog will log all DB queries which are run against the table(s) you can configure via the Extension Manager. It will be logged using the system log and the devlog extension (if installed). It will also write the queries into a global array (GLOBALS[‘___cwdblog’]) so that it is even easier to access to debug sessions.

In order to tell cwdblog which tables to actually log, please go to the extension manager, edit the extension configuration and change the tableName regular expression as you need.

Slashes will be added, so e.g. mycool will result in /mycool/, which will let cwdblog log all queries for tables which include the string ‘mycool’. This could be e.g. tx_mycoolextension_domain_model_blog or tx_myotherextension_domain_model_mycooltable.

Please note that this extension should not be used on production servers yet, since it is not very well tested).
