Hello friends

The commands "\timing" and "EXPLAIN ANALYZE" return values related to the
time of execution of the instruction. These values are "Time:" and "Total
runtime:" respectively. What is the difference between these values, and
the specific use of each command in queries?

If someone can help me.

Thank's for attention.
