Make sure your **Django DEBUG setting is set to True**. Then do this::

    >>> from django.db import connection
    >>> connection.queries
    [{'sql': 'SELECT polls_polls.id, polls_polls.question, polls_polls.pub_date FROM polls_polls',
    'time': '0.002'}]


**connection.queries is only available if DEBUG is True**.
