Auto commit
Checkbox/Expression |
Select this checkbox to commit each batch immediately after it is executed. If the Snap fails, only the batch being executed at that moment is rolled back.

Default value: Selected |
Batch size*
Integer/Expression |
Specify the number of statements to execute at a time. Select queries are not batched. Using a large batch size could use up the JDBC placeholder limit of 2100. Default value: 50 Example: 60 |
Fetch size*
Integer/Expression |

Max lifetime (minutes)*
Integer/Expression |
Specify the maximum lifetime (in minutes) of a connection in the pool. Ensure that the value you enter is a few seconds shorter than any database or infrastructure-imposed connection time limit. A value of 0 indicates an infinite lifetime, subject to the Idle Timeout value. An in-use connection is never retired. Connections are removed only after they are closed. Default value: 30 Example: 50 |
Idle timeout (minutes)*
Integer/Expression |
Specify the maximum time period (in minutes) a connection is allowed to sit idle in the pool. A value of 0 indicates that idle connections are never removed from the pool. Default value: 5 Example: 8 |
Checkout timeout (milliseconds)*
