<conbody>
<p>
Use the <codeph>MAX_MEM_ESTIMATE_FOR_ADMISSION</codeph> query option to set an upper limit
on the memory estimates of a query as a workaround for over-estimates precluding a query
from being admitted.
</p>
<p>
The query option takes effect when all of the below conditions are met:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Memory-based admission control is enabled for the pool.
</li>
<li>
The <codeph>MEM_LIMIT</codeph> query option is not set at the query, session, resource
pool, or global level.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
When the above conditions are met, MIN(<codeph>MAX_MEM_ESTIMATE_FOR_ADMISSION</codeph>,
mem_estimate) is used for admission control.
</p>
<p>
Setting the <codeph>MEM_LIMIT</codeph> query option is usually a better option. Use the
<codeph>MAX_MEM_ESTIMATE_FOR_ADMISSION</codeph> query option when it is not feasible to
set <codeph>MEM_LIMIT</codeph> for each individual query.
