Miscellaneous

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


PropertyDescription
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 .
CalculatedDataTypeSpecifies the data type to use for calculated fields in the SOAP schema. Set this if Microsoft SharePoint returns unexpected types for calculated fields.
ConnectOnOpenSpecifies whether the provider establishes a connection to Microsoft SharePoint immediately upon opening the connection. Set ConnectOnOpen to True if immediate connectivity verification is necessary.
ContinueOnErrorSpecifies whether the provider continues processing batch updates after an error occurs.
CreateIDColumnsSpecifies whether the provider creates supplemental ID columns for Microsoft SharePoint fields that reference values from other lists. Applies only to the SOAP schema.
DefaultDomainThis property is used for the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC.
DisableFilterLimitSpecifies whether to disable the 5000-record limit for list filters in Microsoft SharePoint REST queries. Setting this to true attempts server-side processing beyond the limit, but may result in server errors.
EnableForeignKeyDetectionWhether to detect the foreign keys in ODBC.
FolderOptionSpecifies how the provider displays folders and files in query results when using the SOAP schema.
GetColumnsMetadataSpecifies when the provider retrieves column metadata for tables in the REST schema. Metadata can be loaded at startup or on first use.
IncludeDualTableSet this property to mock the Oracle DUAL table for better compatibility with Oracle database.
IncludeLookupColumnsSpecifies whether the provider includes lookup columns in query results when using the SOAP schema.
IncludeLookupDisplayValueColumnsSpecifies whether the provider includes display value columns for lookup fields in query results when using the REST schema.
LimitKeySizeThe maximum length of a primary key column.
MapBigintToVarcharThis property controls whether or not the bigint type maps to SQL_VARCHAR instead of SQL_BIGINT. This property is false by default.
MapToIntThis property controls whether or not the long type maps to SQL_INTEGER instead of SQL_BIGINT. This property is false by default.
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.
MaximumColumnSizeThe maximum column size.

PagesizeSpecifies the maximum number of records per page the provider returns when requesting data from Microsoft SharePoint.
PseudoColumnsSpecifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns, expressed as a string in the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'.
ReadonlyToggles read-only access to Microsoft SharePoint from the provider.
ResolveCalculatedTypesControls whether SharePoint calculated columns are assigned a SQL data type corresponding to the result type of their formula.

ShowHiddenColumnsSpecifies whether the provider includes hidden columns in metadata and query results.
ShowPredefinedColumnsSpecifies whether the provider includes predefined columns, such as system or base-type columns, in metadata and query results.
ShowVersionViewsSpecifies whether the provider includes list version views in metadata discovery when using the SOAP schema.

TimeoutSpecifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error.
UpperCaseIdentifiersThis property reports all identifiers in uppercase. This is the default for Oracle databases and thus allows better integration with Oracle tools such as the Oracle Database Gateway.
