How can you hide database output in Rails console?
Ruby on-RailsRuby on-Rails Problem Overview
In newer version of Rails, I'm guessing from 3 up, database queries are output to the console. This is useful most of the time, but how can you hide it when you do not want to see it?
Ruby on-Rails Solutions
Solution 1 - Ruby on-Rails
A better way of doing this is by typing this into the console:
ActiveRecord::Base.logger.level = 1
as it prevents problems trying use a pointer to a logger that is set to nil (source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7759321/disable-rails-3-1-sql-logging)
To turn it back on
ActiveRecord::Base.logger.level = 0
Solution 2 - Ruby on-Rails
ActiveRecord::Base.logger = nil
from here
Solution 3 - Ruby on-Rails
Short answer...
In the file development.rb change or add the value of config.log_level so that there's a line like
config.log_level = :info
Solution 4 - Ruby on-Rails
From a friend of mine:
your_query; nil
Solution 5 - Ruby on-Rails
In Rails 3.2, setting
config.logger.level = Logger::INFO
worked fine for me for turning off SQL output.
Solution 6 - Ruby on-Rails
I see you already got your needed answer although I would like to advise the 'quiet assets' gem to you, most of the log data will be asset compiling and inclusions, this gem will remove that and still output the queries and data behavior.
Have fun
