Limiting the Maximum Number of Queries

The DS_MAX_QUERIES configuration parameter limits the number of concurrent decision-support queries that can run. To estimate the number of decision-support queries that the database server can run concurrently, count each query that runs with PDQ priority set to 1 or greater as one full query.

The database server allocates less memory to queries that run with a lower priority, so you can assign lower-priority queries a PDQ priority value that is between 1 and 30, depending on the resource impact of the query. The total number of queries with PDQ priority values greater than 0 cannot exceed DS_MAX_QUERIES.
