Delay command execution

Hi
Here is the setting: Clients connect to SQL Server 2000 via ADO.
Here is the problem: After a client's successful login, the SQL Server 2000
should delay the processing of the client-commands by, e.g., 1 sec. How do I
tell it to the SQL Server 2000?
Thanks in advance.
Adrianat the sql server side
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:01'
But why would you need it. You can as well have the delay at the client side
.

Well, I know this command. But where precisely do I tell the SQL Server to
delay an incoming command?
A delay at the client-side would be fine as well. But now, how do I tell it
to the client (3rd-party, no source code)?
Basically, I need to delay only the first command of a client immediately
after the login, so that I can run a "login-script" for the client on the
server.

There's no such setting in SQL Server.

You would have to talk to the 3:rd party vendor about this...

But...
I monitor login-events with a trace and process the events in a trigger,
which is attached to the trace-table. I need to keep the client waiting
until the trigger finishes. Is there any other way to do this?

Wait, this sounds dangerous. OK, I don't know the architecture of
this particular 3rd party tool. But most modern applications these
days opens a connection, submits a query or two and then close the
connection. Or rather, that is how the application code looks like.
Under the hood, the client API maintains a connection pool, so that
if the application reconnects soon enough, a connection will be
reused.
Nevertheless, a one-second delay on each login sounds like a bad idea
to me.
Maybe if you explain in more detail what you are trying on achieve and
why, we may come with suggestions.
Don't forget to tell which version of SQL Server you are using.
