Connection String Options

The connection string properties are the various options that can be used to establish a connection. This section provides a complete list of the options you can configure in the connection string for this provider. Click the links for further details.

For more information on establishing a connection, see Establishing a Connection.

Authentication


PropertyDescription
ServerThe host name or IP address of the server.
DatabaseThe name of the EnterpriseDB database.
UserSpecifies the authenticating user's user ID.
PasswordSpecifies the authenticating user's password.
PortThe port number of the EnterpriseDB server.
UseSSLWhether SSL is enabled.
VisibilityFilters metadata for the user's permitted tables as a comma-separated list of queries. For example, to restrict visibility for SELECT and INSERT queries, specify 'SELECT,INSERT'. Permitted values: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE.

SSL


PropertyDescription
SSLClientCertSpecifies the TLS/SSL client certificate store for SSL Client Authentication (2-way SSL). This property works in conjunction with other SSL-related properties to establish a secure connection.
SSLClientCertTypeSpecifies the type of key store containing the TLS/SSL client certificate for SSL Client Authentication. Choose from a variety of key store formats depending on your platform and certificate source.
SSLClientCertPasswordSpecifes the password required to access the TLS/SSL client certificate store. Use this property if the selected certificate store type requires a password for access.
SSLClientCertSubjectSpecifes the subject of the TLS/SSL client certificate to locate it in the certificate store. Use a comma-separated list of distinguished name fields, such as CN=www.server.com, C=US. The wildcard * selects the first certificate in the store.
SSLServerCertSpecifies the certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL.

Firewall


PropertyDescription
FirewallTypeSpecifies the protocol the provider uses to tunnel traffic through a proxy-based firewall.
FirewallServerIdentifies the IP address, DNS name, or host name of a proxy used to traverse a firewall and relay user queries to network resources.
FirewallPortSpecifies the TCP port to be used for a proxy-based firewall.
FirewallUserIdentifies the user ID of the account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall.
FirewallPasswordSpecifies the password of the user account authenticating to a proxy-based firewall.

Logging


PropertyDescription
LogfileSpecifes the file path to the log file where the provider records its activities, such as authentication, query execution, and connection details.
VerbositySpecifies the verbosity level of the log file, which controls the amount of detail logged. Supported values range from 1 to 5.
LogModulesSpecifies the core modules to include in the log file. Use a semicolon-separated list of module names. By default, all modules are logged.
MaxLogFileSizeSpecifies 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.
MaxLogFileCountSpecifies 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.

Schema


PropertyDescription
LocationSpecifies 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.
BrowsableSchemasOptional setting that restricts the schemas reported to a subset of all available schemas. For example, BrowsableSchemas=SchemaA,SchemaB,SchemaC .
TablesOptional setting that restricts the tables reported to a subset of all available tables. For example, Tables=TableA,TableB,TableC .
ViewsOptional setting that restricts the views reported to a subset of the available tables. For example, Views=ViewA,ViewB,ViewC .
IgnoredSchemasVisibility restriction filter which is used to hide the list of schemas by metadata quering. For example, 'information_schema, pg_catalog'. Schema names are case sensitive.

Caching


PropertyDescription
AutoCacheSpecifies whether the content of tables targeted by SELECT queries is automatically cached to the specified cache database.
CacheDriverThe driver class of a JDBC driver. The specified driver is used to connect to the target database for all caching operations.
CacheConnectionSpecifies the connection string for the specified cache database.
CacheLocationSpecifies the path to the cache when caching to a file.
CacheToleranceNotes the tolerance, in seconds, for stale data in the specified cache database. Requires AutoCache to be set to True.
OfflineGets the data from the specified cache database instead of live EnterpriseDB data.
CacheMetadataDetermines whether the provider caches table metadata to a file-based cache database.

Miscellaneous


PropertyDescription
AllowPreparedStatementPrepare a query statement before its execution.
BatchSizeSpecifies 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 .
ConnectionLifeTimeSpecifies the maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. When the specified time elapses, the provider closes the connection.
ConnectOnOpenSpecifies whether the provider establishes a connection to EnterpriseDB immediately upon opening the connection. Set ConnectOnOpen to True if immediate connectivity verification is necessary.
FetchResultSetMetadataThis field sets whether the provider retrieves metadata pertaining to the schema and table name for resultset columns returned by the server.
IncludeTableTypesIf set to true, the provider will query for the types of individual tables and views.
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.
PoolIdleTimeoutSpecifies the maximum idle time, in seconds, that a connection can remain in the pool before being closed. Requires UseConnectionPooling=True.
PoolMaxSizeSpecifies the maximum number of connections allowed in the connection pool.
PoolMinSizeSpecifies the minimum number of connections to be maintained in the connection pool at all times.
PoolWaitTimeSpecifies 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.
QueryPassthroughThis option passes the query to the EnterpriseDB server as is.
ReadonlyToggles read-only access to EnterpriseDB from the provider.
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.
TimeoutSpecifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error.
TimeZoneNotifies the server about the time zone on the client with standard SET TIMEZONE query when connection is being opened.
UseConnectionPoolingEnables the connection pooling feature, which allows the provider to reuse existing connections instead of creating new ones for each request.
