TIMER (having resolution in seconds)

From: <shuchi5845_at_my-deja.com>

I need to code a timer which can return TRUE
or false depending upon the fact if


certain INPUT-ABLE (parameter) number of seconds
have elapsed.


According to the instructions to me


I cannot use  DBMS_ALERT or SLEEP


packages. Also I should not use anything that uses
SYSDATE too frequently (like every instruction
cycle).



Can anybody help?
