number of worker processes, max parallel degree, and max scan parallel degree control parallel query processing at the server level. Using the parallel_degree, process_limit_action, and scan_parallel_degree options to the set command can limit parallel optimization at the session level, and using the parallel keyword of the select command can limit parallel optimization of specific queries.
