The output is probably not what you were expecting! :-)

obs=> explain analyze select * from obs where station = 'EGBB'
obs-> and valid_time > '28/8/03 00:00' and valid_time < '28/10/03 00:00';
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "analyze"
obs=> \h explain
Command: EXPLAIN
Description: Shows statement execution plan
Syntax:
EXPLAIN [ VERBOSE ] query

As I said, "explain analyze" doesn't seem to be part of this postgres
version.
