Timing Tests for SQL stmts

Hi,

I'm using a demo version of Oracle 8.0.3 on a Solaris and I want to perform timing tests in SQL Plus on some select stmts.

Are there timing cmds that I can use in SQL Plus to determine elapsed time for the execution of a select stmt and is there a way to turn off screen I/O in SQL Plus while the select stmt is executing?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Nancy Thalman
