Settings and Parameters
You can configure the Query service using cluster-level query settings, node-level query settings, and request-level query parameters.
There are three ways of configuring the Query service. You can specify cluster-level settings for all nodes running the Query service in the cluster. You can specify node-level settings for a single node running the Query service. You can also specify parameters for individual requests. Cluster-level query settings, node-level query settings, and request-level parameters must be set and used in different ways.

Query Setting Levels and Equivalents
Some query settings are cluster-level, node-level, or request-level only, while some apply to more than one level with slightly different names.
If a cluster-level setting has an equivalent node-level setting, then changing the cluster-level setting overwrites the node-level setting for all Query nodes in the cluster.
You can change a node-level setting for a single node to be different to the equivalent cluster-level setting. Changing the node-level setting does not affect the equivalent cluster-level setting. However, you should note that the node-level setting may be overwritten by subsequent changes at the cluster-level. In particular, specifying query settings via the CLI or the UI makes changes at the cluster-level.
If a request-level parameter has an equivalent node-level setting, the node-level setting usually acts as the default for the request-level parameter, as described in the tables below. Setting a request-level parameter overrides the equivalent node-level setting.
Furthermore, for numeric values, if a request-level parameter has an equivalent node-level setting, the node-level setting dictates the upper-bound value of the request-level parameter.
For example, if the node-level timeout
is set to 500, then the request-level parameter cannot be set to 501 or any value higher.

Cluster-Level Query Settings
To set a cluster-level query setting, use the Query Settings REST API (/settings/querySettings
endpoint) with a cURL statement, or the Advanced Query Settings in the Couchbase Web Console.
You can also set all of the cluster-level query settings using the setting-query command.
The table below contains details of all cluster-level query settings.

Request-Level Parameters
To set a request-level parameter, use the Query Service REST API (/query/service
endpoint) with a cURL statement, or the cbq command, or a client program.
You can also set request-level parameters using the Run-Time Preferences window in the Query Workbench.
While cbq
is a sandbox to test code on your local machine, your production query settings are set with the cURL commands on your server.

Transactional Scan Consistency
If the request contains a BEGIN TRANSACTION
statement, or a DML statement with the tximplicit parameter set to true
, then the scan_consistency parameter sets the transactional scan consistency.
If you specify a transactional scan consistency of request_plus
, statement_plus
, or at_plus
, or if you specify no transactional scan consistency, the transactional scan consistency is set to request_plus
; otherwise, the transactional scan consistency is set as specified.
Scan consistency at start of transaction | Transactional scan consistency |
---|---|
Not set |
|
|
|
|
|
Any DML statements within the transaction that have no scan consistency set will inherit from the transactional scan consistency.
Individual DML statements within the transaction may override the transactional scan consistency.
If you specify a scan consistency of not_bounded
for a statement within the transaction, the scan consistency for the statement is set as specified.
When you specify a scan consistency of request_plus
, statement_plus
, or at_plus
for a statement within the transaction, the scan consistency for the statement is set to request_plus
.
However, request_plus
consistency is not supported for statements using a full-text index.
If any statement within the transaction uses a full-text index, by means of the SEARCH function or the Flex Index feature, the scan consistency is set to not_bounded
for the duration of the full-text search.

Named Parameters and Positional Parameters
Named parameters use a variable name to define the value of each parameter, while numbered and unnumbered positional parameters use a list of arguments to define the value of each parameter by position. Requests which use named parameters and positional parameters should contain the appropriate placeholders, as summarized in the table below.
