I often find something like this lurking at the end of my base templates - it'll show you which queries were run while generating the current page, but they'll start out hidden so as not to be a pain.

Of course, before this works, you'll need to satisfy all the criteria for getting debug information in your template context:

1. Have 'django.core.context_processors.debug' in your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS setting (it was there in the default settings, last time I checked).
2. Have your current IP in your INTERNAL_IPS setting.
3. Use RequestContext when rendering the current template (if you're using a generic view, you're already using RequestContext).

{% if debug %}
Queries
 
{{ sql_queries|length }} Quer{{ sql_queries|pluralize:"y,ies" }} {% ifnotequal sql_queries|length 0 %} (Show) {% endifnotequal %}
{% for query in sql_queries %}{% endfor %}
# 	SQL 	Time
{{ forloop.counter }} 	{{ query.sql|escape }} 	{{ query.time }}
{% endif %}
