When a One Second Delay is too Long
This bit of SQL script can be used to insert a pause of one hundredth of a second in a trigger, stored procedure or SQL script. This can be useful for when MSSQL’s built-in WAITFOR DELAY function is just too long (it’s minimum increment is a full second!)
declare @later datetime
declare @now datetime
set @later = current_timestamp+'00:00:00.01'
set @now = current_timestamp
while @now < @later
begin
set @now = current_timestamp
end
