now() gives same time within the session

Hi,

I need to log the start and end time of the procedures in a table. But the start and end time are same. This is how I recreated the issue.

create table test_time (time timestamp);
delete from test_time;
insert into test_time select now();
SELECT pg_sleep(10);
insert into test_time select now();
SELECT pg_sleep(10);
insert into test_time select now();
SELECT pg_sleep(10);
insert into test_time select now();
SELECT pg_sleep(10);
select * from test_time;

"2010-07-12 12:43:40.509746"
"2010-07-12 12:43:40.509746"
