explain analyze would *run* the query and it can be dangerous if it is a DML statement like insert/update/delete 😊
If you still want to go with explain analyze,
You can do
begin;
explain analyze <my query>;
rollback;

Dear all, Only a doubt. The Explain <query> command only estimates the cost of execution of a query, and does not estimate time for execution. I would like know if exists some way to estimate the time, without running the query?
