Show database query generated by Entity Framework Core for PostgreSQL when SaveChanges() called

1

I have created a database first implementation of entity framework core for postgreSQL. I have tried a simple item creation and save, but am getting a syntax error. I'd like to be able to see the generated SQL statement that might give me a clue as to the issue. How can I enable this type of output when debugging? I am new to EF in general, so for answers, please be specific and clear about the requirement.

Below is my test function:

public async Task<string> FunctionHandler(string input, ILambdaContext context)
{
    try
    {

        using (var db = new loyaltyContext())
        {
            var customer = new Customer
            {
                BusinessPartnerId = 4332482,
                StoreJoined = "chadstone",
                CreatedDateTime = DateTime.Now,
                CustomerType = "STANDARD",
                DateOfBith = DateTime.Now.Date,
                StoreJoinedDate = DateTime.Now.Date,
                UpdatedDateTime = DateTime.Now,
                FirstName = "Joe",
                LastName = "Test",
                Gender = "M",
                OrganisationName = "Australian Pharmaceutical Industries"
            };

            customer.Membership.Add(new Membership { BusinessPartnerId = 4332482, DateCreated = DateTime.Now, LoyaltyCustomerId = 1234, McaId = "2701000" });
            db.Customer.Add(customer);
            var count = db.SaveChanges();
            Console.WriteLine("${count} changes");
        }
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
    }

    return input?.ToUpper();
}

Current error:

Npgsql.PostgresException (0x80004005): 42601: syntax error at end of input

EDIT: Updated by trying the below setting as per advice:

protected override void OnConfiguring(DbContextOptionsBuilder optionsBuilder)
{
    optionsBuilder.UseNpgsql("xxxxxxx").EnableSensitiveDataLogging(true);
}

However debug output still doesn't show anything:

I wrote a blog post on this very recently. Are you using .net core?

https://eamonkeane.dev/how-to-view-sql-generated-by-entity-framework-core-using-logging/

Enable sensitive data logging in your startup.cs class and in the ConfigureServices method.

 services.AddDbContext<DutchContext>(
            cfg =>
            {
                cfg.UseSqlServer(_config.GetConnectionString("DutchConnectionString")).EnableSensitiveDataLogging();
            }
            );

Next configure the logging level to include ef in your config file. Usually appsettings.json

"Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
        "Default": "Information",
        "Microsoft": "Warning",
        "Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Database.Command": "Information"
    }
}

Now run the application and you can view the sql in your output window if you select the web server as source of the output.
