Specifies whether the provider retrieves the complete set of entity attributes when it discovers metadata.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

By default, the driver requests only a limited set of attributes from the Microsoft Dynamics 365 API when it discovers metadata. This keeps responses small and metadata discovery fast, but some information is lost. For example, some string columns report an incorrect length. Might also affect other datatypes.

Set this property to true to retrieve every attribute. Column metadata is then complete, at the cost of a larger response and a longer processing time. Leave this property set to false when metadata discovery speed matters more than exact column metadata.

This property has an effect only when the UseEntityDefinitions connection property is set to true.
