RESERVE_SESSION_RESOURCE

Reserves memory resources from the general resource pool for the exclusive use of the Vertica backup and restore process. No other Vertica process can access reserved resources. If insufficient resources are available, Vertica queues the reservation request.

This meta-function is a session level reservation. When a session ends Vertica automatically releases any resources reserved in that session. Because the meta-function operates at the session level, the resource name does not need to be unique across multiple sessions.

You can view reserved resources by querying the SESSIONS table.

This is a meta-function. You must call meta-functions in a top-level SELECT statement.
