When developing code with Hibernate (or other Java tools that create SQL statements for you) it is often a good idea to take a close look at the generated SQL code, for example if you have performerance issues.

A very nice and simple way to do that is logdriver by Ryan Bloom.

And it's simple to use! I've got a .properties file where I've commented out the ordinary db driver and use logdriver instead. As simple as this:

# DB_DRIVER=oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
# DB_URL=jdbc:oracle:thin:@dbhost.mydomain:1523:db
DB_DRIVER=net.rkbloom.logdriver.LogDriver
DB_URL=jdbc:log:oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver:oracle:thin:@dbhost.mydomain:1523:db
