~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~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

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.
