Hello all,

How do I find the execution time of a query?
I tried these methods:
I used

pgbench - pgbench -n -t 1 -f ./query.sql <database name>

and got:

    latency average = 9.787 ms <- should i take this as the execution time?
    initial connection time = 12.481 ms
    tps = 102.176356 (without initial connection time)

used *pg_stat_statements* to fetch execution time for that query.

SELECT total_exec_time FROM pg_stat_statements where query = '<query here>'

got:

      total_exec_time
    --------------------
     12.242579000000001
    (1 row)

used *EXPLAIN ANALYZE*, got:

                                           QUERY PLAN

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 <query description>  (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=0 width=0) (actual
time=0.182..0.182 rows=0 loops=1)
   ->  Result  (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=230) (actual time=0.034..0.034
rows=1 loops=1)
 Planning Time: 0.021 ms
 Execution Time: 0.195 ms
(4 rows)


Now, which among these gives me the actual execution time of the query? Or
rather, how can i find out the actual execution time of the query?
