Hi Everyone.
What does "SAMPLE PERIOD y" do in the following?

In the TinyDB docs they say they can write to buffers with the following example.

        CREATE BUFFER name SIZE X
        (field1 type, field2 type)

        SELECT field1, field2 FROM sensors
        SAMPLE PERIOD x
        INTO name

        SELECT field1, feild2
        SAMPLE PERIOD y
        FROM name

What does the line
"SAMPLE PERIOD y" actually do?
The query that filled the buffer has stopped so I would expect the retrieving query to just return the whole stored buffer. I do not understand what the SAMPLE PERIOD Y does.
