We have committed platform-specific features before, but generally

Right - having platform specific features for other reasons like
lack
of time is a slippery slope in my opinion. We should not get into
such
a habit or Windows will quickly become a second class platform as
far
as PostgreSQL features are concerned.
Especially since there is no lack of time - the functionality is
there, it just looks (significantly) different.
Really? Any link to relevant docs or something?
When doing some research in this field, the only option I was able to
come up
with was combining gettimeofday() with the timing functionality, and do
something
like this:
1) call gettimeofday() at thread start, giving a common unix
timestamp
2) measure the time from the thread start using the conters (for each
transaction)
3) combine those values
This might of course give up to a second difference compared to the
actual time
(because of the gettimeofday precision), but IMHO that's fine.
An even simpler option would omit the (1), so the timestamps would
start at 0.
Or is there a better way?
