When you are executing a DQL there must be situation where you might need to see the parameters and its values for the underlying SQL. Usually Doctrine queries are prepared statements and you will not be able to see the values which pass through the query. Prepared statement works in the following way,

  2. Sending the parameters,
  3. And executing the prepared statement.

 SELECT * FROM some_table WHERE column1 = ? AND column2 = ?
