| FlattenArrays | Set FlattenArrays to the number of nested array elements you want to return as table columns. By default, nested arrays are returned as strings of JSON. |
| Property | Description |
| AutoCache | Automatically caches the results of SELECT queries into a cache database specified by either CacheLocation or both of CacheConnection and CacheProvider . |
| CacheDriver | The database driver used to cache data. |

| CacheTolerance | The tolerance for stale data in the cache specified in seconds when using AutoCache . |
| Offline | Use offline mode to get the data from the cache instead of the live source. |
