Session Procedures

Procedure	Description	Example
sys.setmemorylimit(limit int)	set memory limit in MB for current session. 0 will disable any memory limit.	call sys.setmemorylimit(500);
sys.setoptimizer(optimizer string)	change optimizer pipeline for current session	call sys.setoptimizer('sequential_pipe');
sys.setprinttimeout(timeout integer)	set print timeout in milliseconds for current session. 0 will disable timing out.	call sys.setprinttimeout(1000);
sys.setquerytimeout(query int)	set query execution timeout in milliseconds for current session. 0 will disable timing out.	call sys.setquerytimeout(8000);
sys.setsession(timeout bigint)	set session timeout in milliseconds for current session. Warning: This procedure is Deprecated as of Jun2020 (11.37.7). Use sys.setsessiontimeout(timeout) instead.	call sys.setsession(30000);
sys.setsessiontimeout(timeout int)	set session timeout in milliseconds for current session. 0 will disable timing out.	call sys.setsessiontimeout(30000);
sys.settimeout(query bigint)	set query timeout in milliseconds for current session. Warning: This procedure is Deprecated as of Jun2020 (11.37.7). Use sys.setquerytimeout(query) instead.	call sys.settimeout(8000);
sys.settimeout(query bigint, session bigint)	set query and session timeout in milliseconds for current session. Warning: This procedure is Deprecated as of Jun2020 (11.37.7). Use sys.setquerytimeout(query) and sys.setsessiontimeout(timeout) instead.	call sys.settimeout(8000, 30000);
sys.setworkerlimit(limit int)	set number of worker threads limit for current session. 0 will disable any limit of worker threads.	call sys.setworkerlimit(16);
