But it still does not:a. work with psql -c "query" syntax.

From what I understand you cannot mix ('timing + query') in "-c" mode. > So trying to set 'timing on' outside the individual queries (and preferably outside the client machines) somewhere on the server so that psql -c on client would capture the timing automatically. I think you need to look at postgresql.conf variables like log_min_duration_statement, and you are right that psqlrc is only going to be read for clients on the server machine, and only via psql. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > > > > From: bruce@xxxxxxxxxx > > Subject: Re: Change to 'timing on' globally > > To: b_ki@xxxxxxxxxxx > > Date: Tue, 6 Jul 2010 10:48:48 -0400 > > CC: alvherre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx; pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > > > Balkrishna Sharma wrote: > > > > > > Thanks.
