# CREATE COMPUTE\_POOL

## Syntax <a href="#synopsis" id="synopsis"></a>

```sql
CREATE COMPUTE_POOL compute_pool_name
WITH (compute_pool_parameter = value [, …]);
```

## Description <a href="#description" id="description"></a>

A compute pool is a set of dedicated resources used to run batch queries. You define a compute pool at the organization level. It follows the same RBAC rules as any other DeltaStream object.

Only a role with `CREATE_COMPUTE_POOL` privilege can create a compute\_pool.

### Arguments <a href="#parameters" id="parameters"></a>

#### compute\_pool\_name

The name of the compute\_pool to define. If the name is case-sensitive, you must wrap it in double quotes; otherwise, the system uses the lower case name.

### Compute Pool Parameters <a href="#topic_parameters" id="topic_parameters"></a>
