Python modules for popular projects that add meta info to your SQL queries as comments.
pip3 install --user opentelemetry-sqlcommenter
Add the provided Django middleware to your Django project's settings. All queries executed within the standard request→response cycle will have the SQL comment prepended to them.
MIDDLEWARE = [
'opentelemetry.sqlcommenter.django.middleware.SqlCommenter',
...
]
which when viewed say on Postgresql logs, produces
2019-05-28 11:54:50.780 PDT [64128] LOG: statement: INSERT INTO "polls_question"
("question_text", "pub_date") VALUES
('Wassup?', '2019-05-28T18:54:50.767481+00:00'::timestamptz) RETURNING
"polls_question"."id" /*controller='index',framework='django%3A2.2.1',route='%5Epolls/%24'*/
If you want the OpenCensus attributes included, you must set the
SQLCOMMENTER_WITH_OPENCENSUS
setting to True
.
If you want the OpenTelemetry attributes included, you must set the
SQLCOMMENTER_WITH_OPENTELEMETRY
setting to True
.
You cannot use OpenTelemetry and OpenCensus together, as they use the same attributes.
Attach the provided event listener to the before_cursor_execute
event of the database engine, with retval=True
. All queries executed with that engine will have the SQL comment prepended to them.
import sqlalchemy
from opentelemetry.sqlcommenter.sqlalchemy.executor import BeforeExecuteFactory
engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine(...)
listener = BeforeExecuteFactory(
with_db_driver=True,
with_db_framework=True,
# you may use one of opencensus or opentelemetry
with_opencensus=True,
with_opentelemetry=True,
)
sqlalchemy.event.listen(engine, 'before_cursor_execute', listener, retval=True)
engine.execute(...) # comment will be added before execution
which will produce a backend log such as when viewed on Postgresql

Use the provided cursor factory to generate database cursors. All queries executed with such cursors will have the SQL comment prepended to them.
import psycopg2
from opentelemetry.sqlcommenter.psycopg2.extension import CommenterCursorFactory
cursor_factory = CommenterCursorFactory(
with_db_driver=True,
with_dbapi_level=True,
with_dbapi_threadsafety=True,
with_driver_paramstyle=True,
with_libpq_version=True,

with_opencensus=True,
with_opentelemetry=True,
)
conn = psycopg2.connect(..., cursor_factory=cursor_factory)
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute(...) # comment will be added before execution

With Django, each option translates to a Django setting by uppercasing it and prepending SQLCOMMENTER_
. For example, with_framework
is controlled by the django setting SQLCOMMENTER_WITH_FRAMEWORK
.

For opencensus
to work correctly, note that OpenCensus for
Python must be
installed in the python environment.
For opentelemetry
to work correctly, note that OpenTelemetry for
Python must be
installed in the python environment.
Because the W3C TraceContext's traceparent
and tracestate
are quite ephemeral per request, including these attributes can have a negative impact on query caching.
