[re-open] viewing generated SQL without running the query

There's a previous thread about this[1], but it was closed back in
2006 without resolution. So I'd like to check back in and see if there
is a way to get a complete query string without executing the query.

At first, I thought I could just use the QuerySet.query.__str__(), but
that does not put quotes around dates, so MySQL returns a warning when
trying to execute it. I filed a bug report[2], but apparently
QuerySet.query.__str__() isn't supposed to return a valid query
string.

So is there a way to get the compiled query string without executing
the query (including when debug=False)?

Thanks!
Daniel
