 ``connection.queries`` includes all SQL statements -- INSERTs, UPDATES,
 SELECTs, etc. Each time your app hits the database, the query will be recorded.
-Note that the raw SQL logged in ``connection.queries`` may not include
-parameter quoting.  Parameter quoting is performed by the database-specific
-backend, and not all backends provide a way to retrieve the SQL after quoting.
