WAIT command


Syntax:

  WAIT SECONDS time

The WAIT SECONDS command may be used to pause a transaction for up to 999999.999 seconds. 'time' is the wait time in seconds; it may have a decimal part of up to three digits.

If a limit (such as a timeout) is exceeded during a WAIT, the command will return immediately. Except in this case, WAIT will not return without error in less than the requested time, but may take longer if some other activity on the computer delays it.
