Re: Change to 'timing on' globally

> I just tested it here on Ubuntu and it worked:I followed your steps and it worked in the way you indicated, on CentOS as well. But it still does not:a. work with psql -c "query" syntax. (Works in echo mode or in interactive mode.)b. it does not still seem to work if you fire the queries from a client box (in any mode - interactive or otherwise)ON SERVER I get:Timing is on. now------------------------------ 2010-07-06 11:06:13.16734-04(1 row)Time: 0.574 ms

ON CLIENT I just get: now------------------------------- 2010-07-06 11:06:28.455395-04(1 row)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Basically I am firing a lot of psql through unix script on several client machines and a lot of the psql are hanging for some other reasons. I also need to capture the timing of each query. So I need timing to be on.
Doing the following captures the timing but I don't know which psql statement is hanging when I do ps aux|grep psqlecho '\timing \\select * from ........' | psqlOn ps aux|grep psql I just see:> ps aux|grep psql2255 0.0 0.0 155636 1668 pts/1 S Jul05 0:00 psql3883 0.0 0.0 155636 1676 pts/1 S Jul05 0:00 psql4672 0.0 0.0 155636 1672 pts/1 S Jul05 0:00 psql4713 0.0 0.0 155636 1672 pts/1 S Jul05 0:00 psql4737 0.0 0.0 155636 1672 pts/1 S Jul05 0:00 psql4798 0.0 0.0 155636 1668 pts/1 S Jul05 0:00 psql5050 0.0 0.0 155636 1676 pts/1 S Jul05 0:00 psql5086 0.0 0.0 155636 1668 pts/1 S Jul05 0:00 psql5405 0.0 0.0 155636 1668 pts/1 S Jul05 0:00 psql7255 0.0 0.0 155644 1796 pts/1 S Jul05 0:00 psql

psql -c 'select * from "DAPP".student_common_data where student_id = 1000 and field_id =1988;' does make the ps aux more informative but it does not capture the query timing. From what I understand you cannot mix ('timing + query') in "-c" mode.
So trying to set 'timing on' outside the individual queries (and preferably outside the client machines) somewhere on the server so that psql -c on client would capture the timing automatically.
