Create a resource pool.

CREATE RESOURCE POOL limReg WITH MEMORY_PERCENTAGE = 50, QUERY_TIMEOUT = 10, MAX_QUEUE_DEPTH = 5, MAX_CONCURRENCY = 5;

Run SHOW RESOURCE POOLS to view the list of available resource pools.

SHOW RESOURCE POOLS;

User Privileges and Resource Pools

Users can view the available resource pools and their status as per the granted permissions. By default, users can access the following resource pools:

  • Built-in resource pools system_optimizer_pool, default_pool, and system_auto.

  • The default resource pool set for the user when the user is created.

    CREATE USER general_user WITH DEFAULT RESOURCE POOL = general;

  • All available resource pools, if the user has SUPER permission.

Permissions for additional resource pools can be given using GRANT as follows:

GRANT USAGE ON RESOURCE POOL <resource_pool_name> to '<user_name>'@'%';

Use `*` to grant permissions on all resource pools, even if the user does note have the SUPER permission:

GRANT USAGE ON RESOURCE POOL * to '<user_name>'@'%';
