Re: How to time several queries?

When I'm using psql and I want to time queries, which is what I've been
doing for a little over a day now, I do the following:

Select now(); query 1; query 2; query 3; select now();

This works fine unless you're doing selects with a lot of rows which will
cause your first timestamp to scroll off the screen.

Subject: [PERFORM] How to time several queries?

Hello

I posted this on the general list but think it would be more appropriate
here. Sorry.

I know it is possible to time isolated queries through the settting of the
\timing option in psql. This makes PgSQL report the time it took to
perform one operation.

I would like to know how one can get a time summary of many operations, if
it is at all possible.

Thank you.

Tim
