Introducing ZendHQ Database Query Support

The Zend team is excited to announce the immediate availability of database query introspection in ZendHQ. The feature, available as part of ZendHQ's Z-Ray functionality, allows users to inspect database queries and trace the code that led up to them, making it easy to find and fix performance or functionality issues at the database query level.

How it Works

When Z-Ray is active, any request that performs a database query will feature an additional "Queries" tab for that request. 

That tab lists all queries performed during the request, along with timings, and allows you to click on any given query to find out what database connection was used, transaction information if it was part of a transaction, and a PHP backtrace that led to the query execution.
