| Property | Description |
| FirewallType | Specifies the protocol the provider uses to tunnel traffic through a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallServer | Identifies the IP address, DNS name, or host name of a proxy used to traverse a firewall and relay user queries to network resources. |
| FirewallPort | Specifies the TCP port to be used for a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallUser | Identifies the user ID of the account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallPassword | Specifies the password of the user account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall. |
| Property | Description |
| Logfile | Specifes the file path to the log file where the provider records its activities, such as authentication, query execution, and connection details. |
| Verbosity | Specifies the verbosity level of the log file, which controls the amount of detail logged. Supported values range from 1 to 5. |
| LogModules | Specifies the core modules to include in the log file. Use a semicolon-separated list of module names. By default, all modules are logged. |
| MaxLogFileSize | Specifies the maximum size of a single log file in bytes. For example, '10 MB'. When the file reaches the limit, the provider creates a new log file with the date and time appended to the name. |
| MaxLogFileCount | Specifies the maximum number of log files the provider retains. When the limit is reached, the oldest log file is deleted to make space for a new one. |
| Property | Description |
| Location | Specifies the location of a directory containing schema files that define tables, views, and stored procedures. Depending on your service's requirements, this may be expressed as either an absolute path or a relative path. |
| BrowsableSchemas | Optional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC . |
| Tables | Optional setting that restricts the tables reported to a subset of all available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC . |
| Views | Optional setting that restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC . |
| Property | Description |
| AutoCache | Specifies whether the content of tables targeted by SELECT queries is automatically cached to the specified cache database. |
| CacheProvider | The namespace of an ADO.NET provider. The specified provider is used as the target database for all caching operations. |
| CacheConnection | Specifies the connection string for the specified cache database. |
| CacheLocation | Specifies the path to the cache when caching to a file. |
| CacheTolerance | Notes the tolerance, in seconds, for stale data in the specified cache database. Requires AutoCache to be set to True. |
| Offline | Gets the data from the specified cache database instead of live Redis data. |
| CacheMetadata | Determines whether the provider caches table metadata to a file-based cache database. |
| Property | Description |
| BatchSize | Specifies the maximum number of rows included in each batch submitted during batch operations. To submit the entire batch as a single request, set BatchSize to 0 . |
| ConnectionLifeTime | Specifies the maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. When the specified time elapses, the provider closes the connection. |
| IgnoreTypeErrors | Removes support for the specified data types and ignores casting exceptions for those types. |
| MaxRows | Specifies the maximum number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY. |
| Other | Specifies 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. |
| ParallelMode | This option sets whether the provider should use multiple connections when connecting to Redis. |
| PoolIdleTimeout | Specifies the maximum idle time, in seconds, that a connection can remain in the pool before being closed. Requires UseConnectionPooling=True. |
| PoolMaxSize | Specifies the maximum number of connections allowed in the connection pool. |
| PoolMinSize | Specifies the minimum number of connections to be maintained in the connection pool at all times. |
| 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. |
| PseudoColumns | Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns, expressed as a string in the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. |
| QueryTimeout | The 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. |
| Readonly | Toggles read-only access to Redis from the provider. |
| 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. This property is only required in environments where the standard licensing method is unsupported or requires a runtime key. |
| TableScanDepth | The maximum number of keys to scan when looking for tables available in your Redis database. |
| Timeout | Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. |
| UseConnectionPooling | Enables the connection pooling feature, which allows the provider to reuse existing connections instead of creating new ones for each request. |
| UserDefinedViews | Specifies a filepath to a JSON configuration file that defines custom views. The provider automatically detects and uses the views specified in this file. |
