  Overrides the **max degree of parallelism** configuration option of **sp_configure** and Resource Governor for the query specifying this option. The MAXDOP query hint can exceed the value configured with sp_configure. If MAXDOP exceeds the value configured with Resource Governor, the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)] uses the Resource Governor MAXDOP value, described in [ALTER WORKLOAD GROUP (Transact-SQL)](../../t-sql/statements/alter-workload-group-transact-sql.md). All semantic rules used with the **max degree of parallelism** configuration option are applicable when you use the MAXDOP query hint.

  SIMPLE instructs the query optimizer to attempt simple parameterization. FORCED instructs the optimizer to attempt forced parameterization. The PARAMETERIZATION query hint is used to override the current setting of the PARAMETERIZATION database SET option inside a plan guide.

  If such a plan is not possible, the query optimizer returns an error instead of deferring error detection to query execution. Rows may contain variable-length columns; the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)] allows for rows to be defined that have a maximum potential size beyond the ability of the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)] to process them. Generally, despite the maximum potential size, an application stores rows that have actual sizes within the limits that the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)] can process. If the [!INCLUDE[ssDE](../../includes/ssde-md.md)] encounters a row that is too long, an execution error is returned.
