Answer 1

If you mean in psql, rather than some program you are writing, use \? for the help, and see:

\timing [on|off]       toggle timing of commands (currently off)

And then you get output like:

# \timing on
Timing is on.

# select 1234;        
 ?column? 
----------
     1234
(1 row)

Time: 0.203 ms
