Hi,
I have a while loop and I want to re-iterate after every 't' seconds.
I was reading up on the postgresql documentation that says pg_sleep(t)
should be handy.
However i doesn't work.
Hmmm, I'm looking at section 9.9.5 Delaying Execution in the PostgreSQL
8.2.0 Documentation. Following the example presented there, I fired up
psql and ran the following:
postgres=# select current_timestamp; select pg_sleep(3); select
current_timestamp;
now

Seems to be working. What version are you using and on what platform?
