Miscellaneous

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


Property Description
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.
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.
SlaveOK This property sets whether the provider is allowed to read from secondary (slave) servers.
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.
UseFindAPI Execute MongoDB queries using db.collection.find().
