mysql duration and fetch time

Question

I am using MySQL workbench - What is the difference between duration and fetch times when a query is run?

Also is there a way I can enable the microsecond option in MySQ

Answer 1

Duration shows the time needed to execute the query and fetch is the time needed to read the result set (retrieve the data)

I am unsure about the microsecond option. If this is in regards to optimization, remember - "premature optimization is the root of all evil"
