Is there any way to get the optimization time in PostgreSQL? I'd like to see how long it takes to optimize a query. Does PostgreSQL support this feature?
Yes, starting with Postgres 9.4 this information is included in the execution plan when using the analyze option:

psql (9.4.1)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=&gt; explain (analyze,verbose)
postgres-&gt; select count(*)
postgres-&gt; from product;
                                                                             QUERY PLAN
