With \timing on, a trailing comment yields a timing.# test.sql select 1; /* select 2 */ $ psql -f test.sql ?column? ---------- 1 (1 row) Time: 0.651 ms Time: 0.089 ms I assume it is timing something about that comment (right?). Confusing and annoying, IMHO. Is there any chance such trailing ghost-timings can be removed?
This seems to be caused by psql sending the comment to the server to evaluate as a query. I personally think timing should always output something for every command sent to the server. To fix this problem I guess one would have to modify psql_scan() to check if a scanned query only contains comments and then not send it to the server at all.
