#### 13.2.6.3 INSERT DELAYED Statement

[]()[]()[]()

```
INSERT DELAYED ...
```

 The `DELAYED` option for the [`INSERT`](insert.html) statement is a MySQL extension to standard SQL. In previous versions of MySQL, it can be used for certain kinds of tables (such as `MyISAM`), such that when a client uses [`INSERT DELAYED`](insert-delayed.html), it gets an okay from the server at once, and the row is queued to be inserted when the table is not in use by any other thread.

`DELAYED` inserts and replaces were deprecated in MySQL 5.6. In MySQL 8.0, `DELAYED` is not supported. The server recognizes but ignores the `DELAYED` keyword, handles the insert as a nondelayed insert, and generates an `ER_WARN_LEGACY_SYNTAX_CONVERTED` warning: INSERT DELAYED is no longer supported. The statement was converted to INSERT. The `DELAYED` keyword is scheduled for removal in a future release.
