Accessing protected property of query object

Is there a way to set the output of getLastQuery() -> finalQueryString to a variable? 
In normal PHP you use the Reflection class, is there a way to access this in CI4?

Anyone?
I am making AJAX calls that return a database result and i want to return the last query so i can see it, how do I do this?

Would something like this work:

PHP Code:

$lastQuery = $this->db->getLastQuery()->__toString();

Yep! In CI4, you can store the last executed query like this:


$finalQueryString = $db->getLastQuery()->getQuery();
