SQL Stored Procedure in Databricks

ashishasr · ‎09-30-2025

Hello, Is there a sql server equivalent stored procedure in Databricks which supports while loop along with delay as below. or are there any other alternative to achieve the same.

while (select count(*) from schema.mart_daily with (nolock)) = 0
begin
    waitfor delay '00:01'
end

Thank You in advance.

Hi @ashishasr ,

Yes, support for stored procedures is in public preview:

CREATE PROCEDURE | Databricks on AWS

In the definition of stored procedure you can use compound statement ( SQL compound statement (BEGIN ... END) with the definition of the SQL Procedure.)

And inside compound statement you can use while statement:
