Advanced connection parameters

PropertyDescription
Command TimeoutTime (seconds) that the router waits for an SQL command to complete. For long-running queries, it may be necessary to increase this value. Please note that you must also increase this value for individual connections that trigger long queries.
Connection TimeoutTime (seconds) that a connection to the database may take.
Simultaneous ConnectionsNumber of connections that the router may establish in parallel. The more connections, the faster the router, but the slower the database may be. Ask your database administrator how many connections he allows the router to make. This depends, of course, on the scope of the project.
Polling IntervalInterval at which the database is queried.

Advanced Settings

PropertyDescription
BracketsEncloseBehaviourThis property determines when and how quotation marks are used in your SAP HANA plugin. Here is more information

BracketsEncloseBehaviour

  • Enclose if dot present: This mode is intended for backward compatibility. If a period (.) is included in an identifier, quotation marks are added. This is useful if you have database objects with periods in their names, such as database.schema."table.name".
  • Disable: In this mode, no quotation marks are added, regardless of the identifier. This can be useful if you are sure that your identifiers do not contain any special characters or spaces and you want to improve the readability of the generated SQL.
  • Always: In this mode, quotation marks are always added. This is useful if your identifiers might contain special characters, spaces, or reserved words.
note

Please note that in SAP HANA, quotation marks are used to escape identifiers that would otherwise be interpreted as reserved words. It also allows the use of special characters and spaces in identifiers.
