Build 24.0.9175

Miscellaneous

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


PropertyDescription
DirectQueryLimitLimits the number of rows when using the DirectQuery mode. This helps avoid performance issues at design time.
EnableForeignKeyDetectionWhether to detect the foreign keys in ODBC.
FlattenArraysSet FlattenArrays to the number of array elements to flatten into columns. Otherwise, arrays are returned as JSON strings.
FlattenObjectsSet FlattenObjects to true to flatten object properties into columns of their own. Otherwise, embedded objects as raw JSON strings.
FlexibleSchemaSet FlexibleSchema to true to scan for additional metadata on the query result set. Otherwise, the metadata will remain the same.
MaximumColumnSizeThe maximum column size.
MaxRowsSpecifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.
OtherSpecifies additional hidden properties for specific use cases. These are not required for typical provider functionality. Use a semicolon-separated list to define multiple properties.
PagesizeSpecifies the maximum number of results to return from Cloudant, per page. This setting overrides the default page size set by the datasource, which is optimized for most use cases.
PseudoColumnsSpecifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns. Use the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. The default is an empty string, which disables this property.
ReadonlyToggles read-only access to Cloudant from the provider.
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. Use this property only in environments where the standard licensing method is unsupported or requires a runtime key.
SeparatorCharacterThe character or characters used to denote hierarchy.
TimeoutSpecifies 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.
TypeDetectionSchemeOption for how the provider will scan the data to determine the fields and data types in each document collection.
UserDefinedViewsSpecifies a filepath to a JSON configuration file defining custom views. The provider automatically detects and uses the views specified in this file.
