Hi,
I want to find the time taken by this process
...retrieving data from oracle database using java
and
copying that to postgres using copy.
So I need something like this

Start_Time|java testCode ...|psql -c
"copy dummy
from stdin with delimiter ',' null
'NULL'" test| End_time

time java testCode ...|psql -c "copy dummy
from stdin
with delimiter ',' null
'NULL'" test

Or do you really insist on doing the timestamp
subtraction
by hand?

			
No...I would definitely prefer to get the time elapsed
between the start of the java program and the end of the
copy command... Is that possible ? If not at least the start
and the end time so tht i can do the calculation myself

Tom just showed you how.  Use run full piped command with
the unix 'time' utility.

I've used UNIX for years and I don't know what you mean by 'use run full piped command'.
Sure I know pipes and scripting, but ?
I would put everything needed w/ a shell script, calls to java & PG, and set a var to unixtime at start and subtract it from the ending unixtime.

If nothing else, I might pick up a Linux trick!

Sorry, I'd started typing the sentence one say, back spaced and went to type it another and it didn't really come out right. It should have been:

Run the full piped command with the unix 'time' utility.

I.e. if the full piped command was: cmd1 someargs | cmd2 someargs2 | cmd3 someargs3

then run: time cmd1 someargs | cmd2 someargs2 | cmd3 someargs3
