1) is there a way to time execution of sql statements in postgres without
using any frontend languages like php ?

You can use a shell time command to wrap around the psql command. Something
like:

$ time psql -f sql_commands_to_execute

pg7.3devel (in CVS) lets you "EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT ...", which shows
actually processing time for a query as well as each individual processing
step (!)
2) is there also a way of inserting 2000000 records to a table without
using any frontend languages like php?

Write it in plpgsql, plperl, plpython, or (not yet in the official distro)
plruby.
