set command examples

This example restricts all queries started in the current session to 5 worker processes:

set parallel_degree 5

While this command is in effect, any query on a table with more than 5 partitions cannot use a partition-based scan.

To remove the session limit, use:

set parallel_degree 0

or:

set scan_parallel_degree 0

To run subsequent queries in serial mode, use:

set parallel_degree 1

or:

set scan_parallel_degree 1

To set resource granularity to 25% of the total resources available in the system, use:

set resource_granularity 25

The same is true for repartition degree as well; you can set it to a value of 5. It cannot, however, exceed the value of max parallel degree.

set repartition_degree 5
