# Table Settings Manipulations {#table_settings_manipulations}
2021-07-29 15:20:55 +00:00
There is a set of queries to change table settings. You can modify settings or reset them to default values. A single query can change several settings at once.
If a setting with the specified name does not exist, then the query raises an exception.

**Syntax**
``` sql
ALTER TABLE [db].name [ON CLUSTER cluster] MODIFY|RESET SETTING ...
```
!!! note "Note"
These queries can be applied to [MergeTree](../../../engines/table-engines/mergetree-family/mergetree.md) tables only.

CREATE TABLE example_table (id UInt32, data String) ENGINE=MergeTree() ORDER BY id;
ALTER TABLE example_table MODIFY SETTING max_part_loading_threads=8, max_parts_in_total=50000;
```
## RESET SETTING {#alter_reset_setting}
