Hi, I was using auto_explain to log plans (with analyze option on) from queries that take more than 500ms, something i found i little odd is that the duration says 779ms but actual time says 269ms (almost 3 times lower), maybe some kind of instrumentation cleanup can explain this? 2009-11-10 10:32:41 GMTLOG: duration: 779.938 ms plan: Sort (cost=1943.99..1967.38 rows=9355 width=466) (actual time=235.655..269.061 rows=4997 loops=1) -- Atentamente, Jaime Casanova Soporte y capacitación de PostgreSQL AsesorÃa y desarrollo de sistemas Guayaquil - Ecuador Cel. +59387171157

Client slow about absorbing the rows, perhaps? The actual data output process isn't counted as part of the plan tree's runtime ... but it would be included in the total elapsed time. regards, tom lane
