 - This variable is used to set the threshold value of memory quota for a query.
 - If the memory quota of a query during execution exceeds the threshold value, TiDB performs the operation designated by the OOMAction option in the configuration file. The initial value of this variable is configured by [`mem-quota-query`](/tidb-configuration-file.md#mem-quota-query).

 - This variable controls whether to enable the dynamic memory control feature for the operator that reads data. By default, this operator enables the maximum number of threads that [`tidb_disql_scan_concurrency`](/system-variables.md#tidb_distsql_scan_concurrency) allows to read data. When the memory usage of a single SQL statement exceeds [`tidb_mem_quota_query`](/system-variables.md#tidb_mem_quota_query) each time, the operator that reads data stops one thread.
 - When the operator that reads data has only one thread left and the memory usage of a single SQL statement continues to exceed [`tidb_mem_quota_query`](/system-variables.md#tidb_mem_quota_query), this SQL statement triggers other memory control behaviors.
