Perhaps you're looking for timeofday()?

kleptog=# begin; select timeofday(); select timeofday(); commit;
BEGIN
timeofday
-------------------------------------
Mon Sep 30 19:54:41.559605 2002 EST
(1 row)

timeofday
-------------------------------------
Mon Sep 30 19:54:41.560018 2002 EST

COMMIT

Hope this helps,
