33.2.7. Schema
Property | Description |
Location | A path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures. |

33.2.8. Caching
Property | Description |
AutoCache | Automatically caches the results of SELECT queries into a cache database specified by either CacheLocation or both of CacheConnection and CacheProvider . |
CacheDriver | The database driver to be used to cache data. |
CacheConnection | The connection string for the cache database. This property is always used in conjunction with CacheProvider . Setting both properties will override the value set for CacheLocation for caching data. |
CacheLocation | Specifies the path to the cache when caching to a file. |
CacheTolerance | The tolerance for stale data in the cache specified in seconds when using AutoCache . |
Offline | Use offline mode to get the data from the cache instead of the live source. |
CacheMetadata | This property determines whether or not to cache the table metadata to a file store. |
33.2.9. Miscellaneous
Property | Description |
BatchSize | The maximum size of each batch operation to submit. |
ConnectionLifeTime | The maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. Once the time has elapsed, the connection object is disposed. |
ConnectOnOpen | This property species whether to connect to the MongoDB when the connection is opened. |
DataModel | By default, the provider will not automatically discover the metadata for a child table as its own distinct table. To enable this functionality, set DataModel to Relational . |
FlattenArrays | By default, nested arrays are returned as strings of JSON. The FlattenArrays property can be used to flatten the elements of nested arrays into columns of their own. Set FlattenArrays to the number of elements you want to return from nested arrays. |
FlattenObjects | Set FlattenObjects to true to flatten object properties into columns of their own. Otherwise, objects nested in arrays are returned as strings of JSON. |
GenerateSchemaFiles | Indicates the user preference as to when schemas should be generated and saved. |
MaxRows | Limits the number of rows returned rows when no aggregation or group by is used in the query. This helps avoid performance issues at design time. |
NoCursorTimeout | The server normally times out idle cursors after an inactivity period (10 minutes) to prevent excess memory use. Set this option to prevent that. |
Other | These hidden properties are used only in specific use cases. |
Pagesize | The maximum number of results to return per page from MongoDB. |
PoolIdleTimeout | The allowed idle time for a connection before it is closed. |
PoolMaxSize | The maximum connections in the pool. |
PoolMinSize | The minimum number of connections in the pool. |
PoolWaitTime | The max seconds to wait for an available connection. |
PseudoColumns | This property indicates whether or not to include pseudo columns as columns to the table. |
QueryPassthrough | This option passes the query to MongoDB as-is. |
Readonly | You can use this property to enforce read-only access to MongoDB from the provider. |
ReadPreference | Set this to a strategy for reading from a replica set. Accepted values are primary, primaryPreferred, secondary, secondaryPreferred, and nearest. |
RowScanDepth | The maximum number of rows to scan to look for the columns available in a table. |
RTK | The runtime key used for licensing. |
SlaveOK | This property sets whether the provider is allowed to read from secondary (slave) servers. |
SupportEnhancedSQL | This property enhances SQL functionality beyond what can be supported through the API directly, by enabling in-memory client-side processing. |
Timeout | The value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation. |
TypeDetectionScheme | Comma-separated options for how the provider will scan the data to determine the fields and datatypes in each document collection. |
UseConnectionPooling | This property enables connection pooling. |
UseFindAPI | Execute MongoDB queries using db.collection.find(). |
WriteConcern | Requests acknowledgment that the write operation has propagated to the specified number of mongod instances. |
WriteConcernJournaled | It requires acknowledgment that the mongod instances, as specified in the WriteConcern , have written to the on-disk journal. |
WriteConcernTimeout | This option specifies a time limit, in milliseconds, for the write concern. |
WriteScheme | Sets whether the object type for inserted or updated objects is determined from the existing column metadata or the input value type. |
