# Recording Query Information

Warning

This feature is intended for debugging only.

Flask-SQLAlchemy can record some information about every query that executes during a request. This information can then be retrieved to aid in debugging performance. For example, it can reveal that a relationship performed too many individual selects, or reveal a query that took a long time.

To enable this feature, set `SQLALCHEMY_RECORD_QUERIES` to `True` in the Flask app config. Use `get_recorded_queries()` to get a list of query info objects. Each object has the following attributes:

`statement`

  The string of SQL generated by SQLAlchemy with parameter placeholders.

`parameters`

  The parameters sent with the SQL statement.

`start_time` / `end_time`

  Timing info about when the query started execution and when the results where returned. Accuracy and value depends on the operating system.

`duration`

  The time the query took in seconds.

`location`

  A string description of where in your application code the query was executed. This may be unknown in certain cases.
