WAIT¶

Description

The stored procedure WAIT waits the specified time (milliseconds)

Syntax

WAIT (
    timeinmillis : long
)

It does not return any row; it only waits for the specified time.

Privileges Required

No privileges are required to execute this procedure.

Examples

Example 1

-- Waiting one minute
CALL WAIT(60000);

Example 2

-- Waiting 10 seconds
SELECT timeinmillis
FROM WAIT()
WHERE timeinmillis = 10000;

These two examples show two different ways of invoking WAIT: one with SELECT and another with CALL. Both ways are equivalent. The difference is that if you invoke WAIT from a SELECT statement, you can combine the result with another view although usually, you will not need to do this.
