Oracle query execution time

Question

I would like to get the query execution time in Oracle. I don\'t want the time Oracle needs to print the results - just the execution time.

In MySQL it is easy to ge

Answer 1

Use:

set serveroutput on
variable n number
exec :n := dbms_utility.get_time;
select ......
exec dbms_output.put_line( (dbms_utility.get_time-:n)/100) || ' seconds....' );

Or possibly:

SET TIMING ON;

-- do stuff

SET TIMING OFF;

...to get the hundredths of seconds that elapsed.

In either case, time elapsed can be impacted by server load/etc.
