Hi,
I want to find the time taken by this process
...retrieving data from oracle database using java and
copying that to postgres using copy.
So I need something like this

Start_Time|java testCode ...|psql -c "copy dummy
from stdin with delimiter ',' null
'NULL'" test| End_time

time java testCode ...|psql -c "copy dummy from stdin
with delimiter ',' null 'NULL'" test

Or do you really insist on doing the timestamp subtraction
by hand?

                        
No...I would definitely prefer to get the time elapsed between the start of the java program and the end of the copy command... Is that possible ? If not at least the start and the end time so tht i can do the calculation myself

Tom just showed you how. Use run full piped command with the unix 'time' utility.
