10.5.18 MySQLCursor.statement Property

Syntax:

str = cursor.statement

This read-only property returns the last executed statement as a string. The statement property can be useful for debugging and displaying what was sent to the MySQL server.

The string can contain multiple statements if a multiple-statement string was executed. This occurs for execute() with multi=True. In this case, the statement property contains the entire statement string and the execute() call returns an iterator that can be used to process results from the individual statements. The statement property for this iterator shows statement strings for the individual statements.
