SLEEP

Within an OLAP DML program, the SLEEP command suspends the operation of Oracle OLAP for at least the specified number of seconds.

Note:

SLEEP is rarely used in Oracle OLAP programs, because there is seldom a need to suspend program execution.

Syntax

SLEEP n

Arguments

n: A numeric expression that specifies the number of seconds for Oracle OLAP to "sleep." Program execution will be suspended for at least this number of seconds.

Examples

Example 21-37 Suspending Program Execution

In a program, suppose you execute a statement that might take 10 seconds to complete. You can follow that statement with this SLEEP statement, which suspends program execution for 10 seconds.
