Re: asSql() method is removed from ClientPreparedStatement

[Filipe Silva]

Hi Ken,

You are right, the method `asSql()` was removed without deprecation. Sorry for that. Like you mentioned, the fact that this is not standard API makes us a little more lenient with regard to following a strict deprecation process.

In this particular situation, the reason why this was removed was exactly because of the fact that QueryInterceptor provides the means to get the query being executed in the `preProcess` and `postProcess` methods. Well, there are differences between client-side and server-side prepared statements with regard to expanding placeholders and that could be an issue but for that there's always the `toString()` alternative. So using QueryInterceptors should be the preferred way for obtaining query strings.

What I just said doesn't invalidate the possibility of getting this feature back. As long as there's a feature request with a good justification and nice use case you can file through mysql bugs, we shall take it a look and analyze it.
