Database Events

The Database classes contain a few Events that you can tap into in order to learn more about what is happening during the database execution. These events can be used to collect data for analysis and reporting. The Debug Toolbar uses this to collect the queries to display in the Toolbar.

The Events

DBQuery

This event is triggered whenever a new query has been run, whether successful or not. The only parameter is a Query instance of the current query. You could use this to display all queries in STDOUT, or logging to a file, or even creating tools to do automatic query analysis to help you spot potentially missing indexes, slow queries, etc. An example usage might be:

<?php

// In app/Config/Events.php
Events::on('DBQuery', 'CodeIgniter\Debug\Toolbar\Collectors\Database::collect');
