MySql query execution time

Question

I am using MySQL Workbench on Windows. How do I find out the time taken to execute a query like

Select * from employers where employerid > 200

Is there a statement I can enter that returns the execution time for this query? Thanks

MySQL workbench is the way to go for things like this (optimization, benchmarking of queries, etc.). You say you're not familiar with it, so I'd recommend reading a tutorial from the good folks at MySQL
