psql run sql file result

Question

When I run my command:

psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U meee -d my_db -f sqltest.sql

it displays:

CREATE VIEW
ALTER TABLE

However I want it to show me just like pgadmin show it (for exmpl: The query was executed successfully in 45 ms, but returns no results)

Answer 1

add on the begining of sqltest.sql the command \\timing ando you will see the time of each command

for example script.sql : \\timing select 2 ; select 1; create table tablax(i int); \\timing select 2 ; select 1; create table tablax(i int);

or if you want all time fromm the begining of de script until end, add some command to scritp at the begin: create temp table tab (time1 time,time2 time); insert into tab (time1) select now()::time; create temp table tab (time1 time,time2 time); insert into tab (time1) select now()::time;

at the end: update tab set time2=now()::time; select time2-time1 as time_Elapsed from tab; update tab set time2=now()::time; select time2-time1 as time_Elapsed from tab;

for example:

create temp table tab (time1 time,time2 time);

insert into tab (time1) select now()::time;

... your script code

... update tab set time2=now()::time; select time2-time1 as time_Elapsed from tab; update tab set time2=now()::time; select time2-time1 as time_Elapsed from tab;

Use the a psql command parameter:

psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U meee -d my_db -af sqltest.sql

And place \\timing on at the top of your script
