while trunc(sysdate, ss) = 30 loop

I think this should do whatever's in the loop every minute on the 30 second point.

I need to whip out a PL/SQL procedure real quick today and have a quick question for fellow-listers ( since today is Friday, hopefully I don't get RTFMed on this one :) )
The purpose of my procedure is to collect stats from v$session_wait periodically ( every second for example) and pump the data into a stats table.
But how to make the procedure to wait for a specified time? I know of the option of using dbms_jobs to handle this. But I am wondering if there is a similar
function in PL/SQL similar as the Unix 'sleep' command.
