I think Heikki's solution is probably more practical since (1) ..

Note that these ideas target two *different* problems:

- what was the duration of the last query

- when was the last query executed

So, having both solved would be ideal.

Fair point, but since the duration solution needs to capture two timestamps anyway, it could print start time as well as duration.

The prompt timestamp could still be handy for more intricate session forensics, but I don't know if that's a common-enough use case.

Thanks,
