Thanks! If your on an OS with a time command (linux, windows with the gnu utils ported to it) you can do: time psql -c "select ..." OR you can do echo "\\\timing\nselect ...."|psql dbname This is all from linux. I don't know how this "windows" you speak of works really. Seriously, I stopped using it so long ago I'm lost when I'm on it. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
