The set statement is used to set a query option. Options enabled with the set statement only have effect for the duration of the query. The set statement affects how your query is processed and the returned results.

​
Syntax

set OptionName=OptionValue

​
Strict types

The stricttypes query option lets you specify only the exact type of the data type declaration needed in your query. Otherwise, it throws a QueryFailed error.

​
Example

set stricttypes; 
['Dataset'] 
| where number == 5
