# CREATE COMPUTE\_POOL ## Syntax ```sql CREATE COMPUTE_POOL compute_pool_name WITH (compute_pool_parameter = value [, …]); ``` ## Description 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 #### 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 | Parameter Name | Description | | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `compute_pool.size` |

Required: Yes
Default value: None
Type: String
Valid values: Small, Medium, Large

Small - 1 compute worker (8cpu, 6Gi memory)
Medium - Small x 2
Large - Small x 4

| | `compute_pool.timeout_min` |

If a compute\_pool is idle for timeout\_min, it will be stopped.

Required: No
Default value: 60 minutes (3600 seconds)
Type: Int

| ## Examples ```sql CREATE COMPUTE_POOL mypool WITH(‘compute_pool.size’=small, ‘compute_pool.timeout_min’ =3600); ```
