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
