ReplicaSetThis property allows you to specify multiple servers in addition to the one configured in Server and Port . Specify both a server name and port; separate servers with a comma.

Connection


PropertyDescription
DefineTablesDefine the tables exposed by the provider using table names and Redis key patterns.
PatternSeparatorDefine the table pattern's delimiter.
ReaderEndpointsThe slave hosts and port array, which indicates the Redis Master/Slave cluster's slave instances, are split by a comma.
TablePatternDefine the tables exposed by the provider using Redis key patterns.

SSLClientCertThe TLS/SSL client certificate store for SSL Client Authentication (2-way SSL).
SSLClientCertTypeThe type of key store containing the TLS/SSL client certificate.
SSLClientCertPasswordThe password for the TLS/SSL client certificate.
SSLClientCertSubjectThe subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate.
SSLStartModeThis property determines how the provider starts the SSL negotiation.
SSLServerCertThe certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL.

SSHClientCertA certificate to be used for authenticating the SSHUser.
SSHClientCertPasswordThe password of the SSHClientCert key if it has one.
SSHClientCertSubjectThe subject of the SSH client certificate.
SSHClientCertTypeThe type of SSHClientCert private key.
SSHServerThe SSH server.
SSHPortThe SSH port.
SSHUserThe SSH user.

FirewallUserThe user name to use to authenticate with a proxy-based firewall.
FirewallPasswordA password used to authenticate to a proxy-based firewall.

Logging


PropertyDescription
LogfileA filepath which designates the name and location of the log file.
VerbosityThe verbosity level that determines the amount of detail included in the log file.
LogModulesCore modules to be included in the log file.
MaxLogFileSizeA string specifying the maximum size in bytes for a log file (for example, 10 MB).
MaxLogFileCountA string specifying the maximum file count of log files.

Schema


PropertyDescription
LocationA path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures.
BrowsableSchemasThis property restricts the schemas reported to a subset of the available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC.
TablesThis property restricts the tables reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC.
ViewsRestricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC.

Caching


PropertyDescription
AutoCacheAutomatically caches the results of SELECT queries into a cache database specified by either CacheLocation or both of CacheConnection and CacheProvider .
CacheDriverThe database driver used to cache data.
CacheConnectionThe connection string for the cache database. This property is always used in conjunction with CacheProvider . Setting both properties will override the value set for CacheLocation for caching data.
CacheLocationSpecifies the path to the cache when caching to a file.
CacheToleranceThe tolerance for stale data in the cache specified in seconds when using AutoCache .
OfflineUse offline mode to get the data from the cache instead of the live source.
CacheMetadataThis property determines whether or not to cache the table metadata to a file store.

Miscellaneous


PropertyDescription
BatchSizeThe maximum size of each batch operation to submit.
ConnectionLifeTimeThe maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. Once the time has elapsed, the connection object is disposed.
ConnectOnOpenThis property specifies whether to connect to the Redis when the connection is opened.
IgnoreTypeErrorsRemoves support for the specified data types and ignores casting exceptions for those types.
MaxRowsLimits the number of rows returned when no aggregation or GROUP BY is used in the query. This takes precedence over LIMIT clauses.
OtherThese hidden properties are used only in specific use cases.
ParallelModeThis option sets whether the provider should use multiple connections when connecting to Redis.
PoolIdleTimeoutThe allowed idle time for a connection before it is closed.
PoolMaxSizeThe maximum connections in the pool.
PoolMinSizeThe minimum number of connections in the pool.
PoolWaitTimeThe max seconds to wait for an available connection.
PseudoColumnsSpecify a set of pseudocolumns to expose as columns.
QueryTimeoutThe timeout in seconds for which the provider will wait for the query response. The default value is -1, which indicates the provider should never time out.
ReadonlyYou can use this property to enforce read-only access to Redis from the provider.
RowScanDepthThe maximum number of rows to scan to look for the columns available in a table.
RTKThe runtime key used for licensing.
TableScanDepthThe maximum number of keys to scan when looking for tables available in your Redis database.
TimeoutThe value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation.
UseConnectionPoolingThis property enables connection pooling.
