EXPLAIN doesn't tell you the query runtime.
EXPLAIN ANALYZE does, but it doesn't return the query results, returning
plan and timing information instead.

in psql, use:

Record the system time before you run the query using
System.currentTimeMillis() or System.nanoTime().
Record the system time after you run the query.
Subtract and convert the difference to a java.util.Date so you can
format it prettily for display, or just print the difference in
milliseconds. If you want more flexible date/time handling, see JodaTime.
This gives you the time the query took including how long it took to
retrieve the initial resultset. If you want the time the query took to
execute on the server, not counting fetch time, this may not be what you
want.
I don't know how to get query execution time *not* counting resultset
retrieval time from the client. Anyone know if it's even possible?
