Turn on PDQ and review other configuration parameters

Parallel execution of queries is turned off by default. To turn on parallel execution, use one of the following methods:
  • Set the environment variable PDQPRIORITY greater than 0.
  • Execute the SQL statement SET PDQPRIORITY.

The PDQ configuration parameters have the same effect on parallel UDRs as on regular PDQ queries. For example, the DS_MAX_SCANS parameter specifies the maximum number of scan threads that the database server can execute concurrently.

For information about how to tune the PDQ configuration parameters, refer to the HCL OneDB™ Performance Guide.
