Everyone,
I love that my proposal for %T in the prompt, triggered some great conversations.
This is not instead of that. That lets me run a query and come back HOURS later, and know it finished before 7PM like it was supposed to!
This feature is simple. We forget to set \timing on...
We run a query, and we WONDER... how long did that take.
This, too, should be a trivial problem (the code will tell).
I am proposing this to get feedback (I don't have a final design in mind, but I will start by reviewing when and how ROW_COUNT gets set, and what \timing reports).
Next up, as I learn (and make mistakes), this toughens me up...
I am not sure the name is right, but I would like to report it in the same (ms) units as \timing, since there is an implicit relationship in what they are doing.
I think like ROW_COUNT, it should not change because of internal commands.
So, you guys +1 this thing, give additional comments. When the feedback settles, I commit to making it happen.
Thanks, Kirk
