I'm trying to get a sense for how much the output from the SQL*Plus TIMING command varies between platforms. On Windows, the timing is reported in milleseconds, for example:

SQL> timing start
SQL> 
SQL> timing show

 real: 5330

On HP-Unix, the timing is resolved to the hundredth of a second, and is also formatted much better:

SQL> timing start
SQL> timing show
Elapsed: 00:00:01.81

Is the hh:mi:ss.hh format prevelant on most other Unix systems?
