+ The <code class="filename">tsm_system_time</code> module provides the table sampling method
+ <code class="literal">SYSTEM_TIME</code>, which can be used in
+ the <code class="literal">TABLESAMPLE</code> clause of a <a class="link" href="sql-select.html" title="SELECT"><code class="command">SELECT</code></a>
+ command.
+ </p><p>
+ This table sampling method accepts a single floating-point argument that
+ is the maximum number of milliseconds to spend reading the table. This
+ gives you direct control over how long the query takes, at the price that
+ the size of the sample becomes hard to predict. The resulting sample will
+ contain as many rows as could be read in the specified time, unless the
+ whole table has been read first.
+ </p><p>
+ Like the built-in <code class="literal">SYSTEM</code> sampling
+ method, <code class="literal">SYSTEM_TIME</code> performs block-level sampling, so
+ that the sample is not completely random but may be subject to clustering
+ effects, especially if only a small number of rows are selected.
+ </p><p>
+ <code class="literal">SYSTEM_TIME</code> does not support
+ the <code class="literal">REPEATABLE</code> clause.
+ </p><p>
+ This module is considered <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">trusted</span>”</span>, that is, it can be
+ installed by non-superusers who have <code class="literal">CREATE</code> privilege
+ on the current database.
+ </p><div class="sect2" id="id-1.11.7.56.8"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">F.47.1. Examples</h3></div></div></div><p>
+ Here is an example of selecting a sample of a table with
+ <code class="literal">SYSTEM_TIME</code>. First install the extension:
+ </p><pre class="programlisting">
+CREATE EXTENSION tsm_system_time;
+</pre><p>
+ Then you can use it in a <code class="command">SELECT</code> command, for instance:
+
+</p><pre class="programlisting">
+SELECT * FROM my_table TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM_TIME(1000);
+</pre><p>
+ </p><p>
+ This command will return as large a sample of <code class="structname">my_table</code> as
+ it can read in 1 second (1000 milliseconds). Of course, if the whole
+ table can be read in under 1 second, all its rows will be returned.
