So the straw man solution we've implemented for now looks like this. (Background: we have a settings.THREADLOCALS construct which serves in a capacity similar to Ned's global requests; also, our monkeypatch_method decorator does what you probably think it does.) First, we've a tiny bit of middleware:
from django.conf import settings class RequestURIMiddleware: """ Set the request URI in THREADLOCALS so that it can be used to comment SQL queries with what triggered them. """ def process_request(self, request): settings.THREADLOCALS.request_uri = request.build_absolute_uri() And then we've monkeypatched the cursor method on BaseDatabaseWrapper like so: from django.conf import settings from django.db.backends import BaseDatabaseWrapper, util from patchers import monkeypatch_method import traceback class CommentingCursorWrapper(util.CursorDebugWrapper): def execute(self, sql, *args, **kwargs): """ Before sending to the DB, this adds a comment to the SQL with notes about the query's origin """ try: if getattr(settings, 'SQL_COMMENTS_ALWAYS_TRACEBACK', False): raise AttributeError # THREADLOCALS.request_uri is (usually) populated by RequestURIMiddleware origin_comment = ' /* Originated from request to {0}'.format(settings.THREADLOCALS.request_uri) except AttributeError: # If no URI available (e.g., Celery task), report the first non-Django point in the call stack: tb = reversed(traceback.format_stack()[:-1]) # walk it bottom-up, excluding this frame for frame in tb: if 'django' not in frame: origin_comment = ' /* Originated at{0}'.format(frame.split('\n')[0]) break origin_comment = origin_comment.replace('%', '%%') origin_comment = origin_comment.replace('*/', '\*\/') sql += origin_comment + ' */' return self.cursor.execute(sql, *args, **kwargs) @monkeypatch_method(django.db.backends.BaseDatabaseWrapper) def cursor(self, *args, **kwargs): return CommentingCursorWrapper(cursor._original_cursor_function(self, *args, **kwargs), self) So in short, we comment the SQL with the URI when it's available, and fall back to the (presumably more expensive to gather) traceback information when it's not. This is just the monkeypatch we're throwing in to solve our immediate problem, but it'd be easy enough to convert into a patch. Before we do, any thoughts/criticisms of this approach?
