# Wait For command

The `Wait For` command displays the results of a previously started asynchronous command.

The identifier for the asynchronous command must have been used in a previous `Async` command on this connection. The `Wait For` command waits for the SQL statement to complete execution, if it has not already, and then displays the results. If the statement returns a result set, the `Wait For` command steps through the rows, not the `Async` command. This might result in further execution time passing during the result display.

## Syntax

    WAIT FOR Identifier

## Example

See Async command.
