Thread: psql \timing vs failed statements

psql \timing vs failed statements

From
Magnus Hagander
Date:
Right now, psql \timing output only gives output for successful
queries. Is there any actual reason for this, or just a "it happened"?

In particular,I just had a very long run of a CREATE UNIQUE INDEX fail
pretty far in - and I would've really liked to have timing output for
that one even though it failed.

Thus - if I were to change psql to output timing on failed queries as
well, will anybody object? ;)
