Mangler at give adgang til DBMS_LOCK.sleep , dette vil virke, men det er et forfærdeligt hack:
IN_TIME INT; --num seconds
v_now DATE;
-- 1) Get the date & time
SELECT SYSDATE
INTO v_now
FROM DUAL;
-- 2) Loop until the original timestamp plus the amount of seconds <= current date
LOOP
EXIT WHEN v_now + (IN_TIME * (1/86400)) <= SYSDATE;
END LOOP;
