Hi Chander,
Actually I am trying to figure out how much execution time any query is taking is taking when executed for the first time.
Because once a query is executed for the first time, the query plan, data buffer is cached so subsequently time taken is much lower.
For this, I want to have the Shared buffer cache flushed to note the initial execution time.
Is my understanding correct here ?
Regards,
Suvankar Roy

AFAIK, that's the only way.
Is there a reason that you need to dump the shared buffers? Perhaps if
we knew what you were trying to accomplish we could provide you with a
suitable solution that doesn't require a restart...
