Doctrine – How to print out the real sql, not just the prepared statement?

Doctrine is not sending a “real SQL query” to the database server : it is actually using prepared statements, which means :

• Sending the statement, for it to be prepared (this is what is returned by $query->getSql())
• And, then, sending the parameters (returned by $query->getParameters())
• and executing the prepared statements

This means there is never a “real” SQL query on the PHP side — so, Doctrine cannot display it.
