## Set Query Options

### Before release 0.11.0

Before release 0.11.0, query options can be appended to the query with the `OPTION` keyword:

```sql
SELECT * FROM myTable OPTION(key1=value1, key2=123)
SELECT * FROM myTable OPTION(key1=value1) OPTION(key2=123)
SELECT * FROM myTable OPTION(timeoutMs=30000)
```

### After release 0.11.0

After release 0.11.0, query options can be set using the `SET` statement:

```sql
SET key1 = 'value1';
SET key2 = 123;
SELECT * FROM myTable
```
