###### SQL with Formatted view Within Controller

[](#sql-with-formatted-view-within-controller)

```

$this->loadModel('Model);
print $this->Model
		 ->find()
		 ->select(["select_column"])
		 ->where(["user_id" => 1])
		 ->debugQuery()

```

\[output\]

```
SELECT
    Panels.panel AS Panels__panel,
    Panels.element AS Panels__element
FROM
    panels Panels

```

###### SQL without Formatting view Within Controller

[](#sql-without-formatting-view-within-controller)

```

$this->loadModel('Model);
$this->Model
	 ->find()
	 ->select(["select_column"])
	 ->where(["user_id" => 1])
	 ->debugQuery(false)

```

\[output\]

```
SELECT Panels.panel AS Panels__panel, Panels.element AS Panels__element FROM panels Panels

```

\[Note\]
While using dd() in web, Logging(i.e. \\Cake\\Log\\Log::debug()) and CLI for debugging purpose use formatSQL flag false as follows,
otherwise debugQuery returns HTML which you can't see the SQL in readable format.

dd($this->Model->find()->where()->debugQuery(false));
