Miscellaneous

This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.


PropertyDescription
AutoDetectIndexSpecifies whether the provider should automatically detect and use secondary indexes based on the query criteria.
AWSCertificateThe absolute path to the certificate file or the certificate content in PEM format encoded in base64.
AWSCertificatePasswordThe password for the certificate if applicable, otherwise leave blank.
AWSCertificateTypeThe type of AWSCertificate .
AWSPrivateKeyThe absolute path to the private key file or the private key content in PEM format encoded in base64.
AWSPrivateKeyPasswordThe password for the private key if it is encrypted, otherwise leave blank.
AWSPrivateKeyTypeThe type of AWSPrivateKey .
AWSProfileARNProfile to pull policies from.
AWSSessionDurationDuration, in seconds, for the resulting session.
AWSTrustAnchorARNTrust anchor to use for authentication.
FlattenArraysThis 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.
FlattenObjectsSpecifies whether nested object properties are flattened into individual columns.
FlexibleSchemaSpecifies 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.
GenerateSchemaFilesIndicates the user preference as to when schemas should be generated and saved.
IgnoreTypesSpecifies which data types should be ignored and reported as strings.
MaximumRequestRetriesSpecifies 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.
MaxRowsSpecifies the maximum number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY.
OtherSpecifies additional hidden properties for specific use cases., to be used only when our Support team advises it, to address specific issues. See Remarks for details.
PagesizeSpecifies the maximum number of items provider evaluates per API request. The default value, -1, allows the server to calculate the page size automatically.
PseudoColumnsSpecifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns, expressed as a string in the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'.
QueryModeSpecifies the mode used by the provider to retrieve results from Amazon DynamoDB.
ReadonlyToggles read-only access to Amazon DynamoDB from the provider.
RetryWaitTimeSpecifies the minimum number of milliseconds the provider waits before retrying a request. The wait time doubles with each retry.
RowScanDepthThe maximum number of rows to scan to look for the columns available in a table.
RTKSpecifies the runtime key for licensing the provider. If unset or invalid, the provider defaults to the standard licensing method. This property is only required in environments where the standard licensing method is unsupported or requires a runtime key.
SeparatorCharacterSpecifies the character or characters used to denote hierarchy in flattened structures, such as Maps and List attributes in DynamoDB.
ThreadCountSpecifies the number of threads to allocate for parallel scans during data selection. A value of 1 disables parallel scanning, while higher values increase parallelism.
TimeoutSpecifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error.
TypeDetectionSchemeSpecifies the method used to determine the data type of columns.
UseBatchWriteItemOperationSpecifies 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.
UseConsistentReadsSpecifies whether consistent reads should always be used when querying DynamoDB. Consistent reads provide the most up-to-date data, but consume more read capacity.
UserDefinedViewsSpecifies a filepath to a JSON configuration file that defines custom views. The provider automatically detects and uses the views specified in this file.
UseSimpleNamesSpecifies whether or not simple names should be used for tables and columns.
