Export Query#formatQuery property to allow logging queries before they are sent to db. (comp:driver:js)

In version 1.2.0-0 a workaround is to access the obfuscated private api as follows:

> r.table('foo').q().a()
'r.table(\'foo\')(\'undefined\')'

Thanks @vjpr. I'm going to move this to backlog because there are more important things to work out first, and while it's a simple fix, we have to add it to all three drivers, test it, document it, etc. We'll get to this as soon as we sort out some of the showstoppers.

Thanks @coffeemug, no rush. I'm re-writing my backend from node-mysql to rethinkdb atm. Really great so far - loving the admin ui.

That's great, let us know if you need any help! (google groups, irc, or here works)

Can you talk a little bit about what you're using the backend for?

Its a new breed of task management / bookmarking software.

Firstly, we are collecting all web browsing activity and events such as opening/selecting tabs.
Secondly, we store a collection of tasks for each user, each with a collection of posts (containing web links/notes/emails/etc.) with comments (like a Facebook post).

We're then running analytics over the browsing events in real time to determine which webpages are most useful for which tasks. So kind of like Facebook's old "recently read articles" feature, but for private tasks.

Very cool, thanks!

Fixed as part of 1.4, closing.
