# About CaptureQueriesContext

If you ever need to access the raw SQL executed during any unit test, the `CaptureQueriesContext` context manager can help. It's very simple:
```py
from django.db import connection
from django.test.utils import CaptureQueriesContext

def test_foo():
  with CaptureQueriesContext(connection) as ctx:
    # run some SQL queries
    print(ctx.captured_queries)
    # run assertions after printing if you want to guarantee that print fires
```
The output is a list of dictionaries of the form `{"sql": "<SQL QUERY>"}`, so you can iterate over them, run assertions on them, pretty print them -- whatever you want.
