Miscellaneous
This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| AutoDetectIndex | A boolean indicating if secondary indexes should be automatically detected based on the query used. |
| BatchSize | The maximum size of each batch operation to submit. |
| ConnectionLifeTime | The maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. Once the time has elapsed, the connection object is disposed. |
| ConnectOnOpen | This property specifies whether to connect to the Amazon DynamoDB when the connection is opened. |
| FlattenArrays | By default, nested arrays are returned as strings of JSON. The FlattenArrays property can be used to flatten the elements of nested arrays into columns of their own. Set FlattenArrays to the number of elements you want to return from nested arrays. |
| FlattenObjects | Set FlattenObjects to true to flatten object properties into columns of their own. Otherwise, objects nested in arrays are returned as strings of JSON. |
| FlexibleSchema | Set FlexibleSchema to true to scan for additional metadata on the query result set. Otherwise, the metadata will remain the same. |
| GenerateSchemaFiles | Indicates the user preference as to when schemas should be generated and saved. |
| IgnoreTypes | Removes support for the specified types. For example, Time. These types will then be reported as strings instead. |
| MaximumRequestRetries | The maximum number of times to retry a request. |
| MaxRows | Limits the number of rows returned rows when no aggregation or group by is used in the query. This helps avoid performance issues at design time. |
| Other | These hidden properties are used only in specific use cases. |
| Pagesize | The maximum number of results to return per page from Amazon DynamoDB. |
| PoolIdleTimeout | The allowed idle time for a connection before it is closed. |
| PoolMaxSize | The maximum connections in the pool. |
| PoolMinSize | The minimum number of connections in the pool. |
| PoolWaitTime | The max seconds to wait for an available connection. |
| PseudoColumns | This property indicates whether or not to include pseudo columns as columns to the table. |
| Readonly | You can use this property to enforce read-only access to Amazon DynamoDB from the provider. |
| RetryWaitTime | The minimum number of milliseconds the provider will wait to retry a request. |
| RowScanDepth | The maximum number of rows to scan to look for the columns available in a table. |
| RTK | The runtime key used for licensing. |
| SeparatorCharacter | The character or characters used to denote hierarchy. |
| ThreadCount | The number of threads to use when selecting data via a parallel scan. Setting ThreadCount to 1 will disable parallel scans. |
| Timeout | The value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation. |
| TypeDetectionScheme | Determines how to determine the data type of columns. |
| UseBatchWriteItemOperation | When enabled the provider will use BatchWriteItem operation for handling updates and inserts. By default, the provider uses ExecuteStatement/BatchExecuteStatement operation. You need to enable BatchWriteItem only when inserting/updating binary/binary-set data. ExecuteStatement/BatchExecuteStatement doesn't support manipulating binary fields. |
| UseConnectionPooling | This property enables connection pooling. |
| UseConsistentReads | Whether to alyways use Consistent Reads or not when querying DynamoDb. |
| UserDefinedViews | A filepath pointing to the JSON configuration file containing your custom views. |
| UseSimpleNames | Boolean determining if simple names should be used for tables and columns. |
