How to get real physical SQL sent by OBIee to the database?

Answer 1

First of all, check the value of your session variable LOGLEVEL.
5 is fine.
Then, go into Administration -> Manage sessions.
Find your query (at the bottom of the list), and click on “View log”.
If you hit the cache, you will see “cache hit on query”. Otherwise, you will see the physical SQL below the logical SQL.
