EnableForeignKeyDetectionWhether to detect the foreign keys in ODBC.
IncludeDualTableSet this property to mock the Oracle DUAL table for better compatibility with Oracle database.
IncludeSystemSchemasSpecifies whether to include the system catalog 'system' and system schema 'information_schema'.

MapToLongVarcharThis property controls whether or not a column is returned as SQL_LONGVARCHAR.
MapToWVarcharThis property controls whether or not string types map to SQL_WVARCHAR instead of SQL_VARCHAR. This property is set by default.
