As a developer you might need a timer in your database. In that case you might find this feature helpful. You can create timer, as many as you like. Use them for benchmarks, to log import and export times, or to keep track of user log-in times.

Stop Watch

Each timer works like a little stopwatch. You can …

• start it,
• stop it,
• restart/stop it again,
• read the elapsed time,
• and reset/remove it.

• param.get( key; params )
• param.delete( key; params )
• $$timer
