Miscellaneous
This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| AutoDetectIndex | Specifies whether the provider should automatically detect and use secondary indexes based on the query criteria. |
| BatchSize | Specifies the maximum number of rows included in each batch operation. Set to 0 to submit the entire batch as a single request. |
| ConnectionLifeTime | Specifies the maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. When the specified time elapses, the provider closes the connection. Set to 0 or leave empty for no time limit. |
| FlattenArrays | This property flattens nested array elements into individual columns. By default, nested arrays are returned as JSON strings. Set this property to the number of elements to extract from nested arrays. |
| FlattenObjects | Specifies whether nested object properties are flattened into individual columns. |
| FlexibleSchema | Specifies whether the provider should dynamically scan query result sets for additional metadata. Set to true to enable scanning or false to use a static metadata structure. |
| GenerateSchemaFiles | Indicates the user preference as to when schemas should be generated and saved. |
| IgnoreTypes | Specifies which data types should be ignored and reported as strings. |
| MaximumRequestRetries | Specifies the maximum number of times the provider retries a request when a temporary issue is detected. Temporary issues include network interruptions, transient errors, or exceeding operational thresholds. |
| MaxRows | Specifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY. |
| Other | Specifies additional hidden properties for specific use cases. These are not required for typical provider functionality. Use a semicolon-separated list to define multiple properties. |
| Pagesize | Specifies the maximum number of items provider evaluates per API request. The default value, -1, allows the server to calculate the page size automatically. |
| PoolIdleTimeout | Specifies the maximum idle time, in seconds, that a connection can remain in the pool before being closed. |
| PoolMaxSize | Specifies the maximum number of connections allowed in the connection pool. The default value is 100. Set to 0 or a negative value to disable pooling. |
| PoolMinSize | Specifies the minimum number of connections maintained in the connection pool. The default value is 1. |
| PoolWaitTime | Specifies the maximum number of seconds a connection request waits for an available connection in the pool. If the wait exceeds this time, an error is returned. The default is 60 seconds. |
| PseudoColumns | Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns. Use the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. The default is an empty string, which disables this property. |
| QueryMode | Specifies the mode used by the provider to retrieve results from Amazon DynamoDB. |
| Readonly | Toggles read-only access to Amazon DynamoDB from the provider. |
| RetryWaitTime | Specifies the minimum number of milliseconds the provider waits before retrying a request. The wait time doubles with each retry. |
| RowScanDepth | The maximum number of rows to scan to look for the columns available in a table. |
| RTK | Specifies the runtime key for licensing the provider. If unset or invalid, the provider defaults to the standard licensing method. Use this property only in environments where the standard licensing method is unsupported or requires a runtime key. |
| SeparatorCharacter | Specifies the character or characters used to denote hierarchy in flattened structures, such as Maps and List attributes in DynamoDB. |
| ThreadCount | Specifies the number of threads to allocate for parallel scans during data selection. A value of 1 disables parallel scanning, while higher values increase parallelism. |
| Timeout | Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout. |
| TypeDetectionScheme | Specifies the method used to determine the data type of columns. |
| UseBatchWriteItemOperation | Specifies the use of the BatchWriteItem operation for updates and inserts. This is required for handling binary or binary-set data, as the default operations (ExecuteStatement/BatchExecuteStatement) do not support these field types. |
| UseConnectionPooling | Enables the connection pooling feature, which allows the provider to reuse existing connections instead of creating new ones for each request. |
| UseConsistentReads | Specifies whether consistent reads should always be used when querying DynamoDB. Consistent reads provide the most up-to-date data, but consume more read capacity. |
| UserDefinedViews | Specifies a filepath to a JSON configuration file defining custom views. The provider automatically detects and uses the views specified in this file. |
| UseSimpleNames | Boolean determining if simple names should be used for tables and columns. |
