No, the 'timing' will say how long it took to send the query from psql to the server and get the complete response back from the server. The 'time' command will also include the time to start psql, establish the connection to the database, read from the pipe, and close the connection to the database. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
