But I don't see any timing messages. What am I misunderstanding in the docs?
It says there the times end up in the dump file, which you redirected and didn’t show the contents of.
The non-sense of putting start and stop times in the dump file while not putting them in stderr must have caused my brain to skip over "to the dump file".
Honestly, who cares if start and stop times are in the dump file? stderr is where a DBA wants to see timings.
