SQL Server Management Studio, how to get execution time down to milliseconds

Question

When I submit a batch (e.g., perform a query) in SSMS, I see the time it took to execute in the status bar. Is it possible to configure SSMS to show the query time with mill

Answer 1

What you want to do is this:

set statistics time on

-- your query

set statistics time off

That will have the output looking something like this in your Messages window:

SQL Server Execution Times: CPU time = 6 ms, elapsed time = 6 ms.
