| Backwards Compatibility Mode | Set BackwardsCompatibilityMode to true to use the XML/JSON functionality and features available in the 2017 version. |
| Batch Size | The maximum size of each batch operation to submit. |
| Cache Connection | 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. |
| Cache Driver | The database driver to be used to cache data. |
| Cache Location | Specifies the path to the cache when caching to a file. |
| Cache Metadata | This property determines whether or not to cache the table metadata to a file store. |
| Cache Tolerance | The tolerance for stale data in the cache specified in seconds when using AutoCache . |
| Callback URL | The OAuth callback URL to return to when authenticating. This value must match the callback URL you specify in your app settings. |
| Connection Life Time | The maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. Once the time has elapsed, the connection object is disposed. |
| Connect On Open | This property species whether to connect to the REST when the connection is opened. |
| Custom Headers | Other headers as determined by the user (optional). |
| Custom Url Params | The custom query string to be included in the request. |

| Kerberos Service KDC | The Kerberos KDC of the service. |
| Kerberos Service Realm | The Kerberos realm of the service. |
| Kerberos SPN | The service principal name (SPN) for the Kerberos Domain Controller. |
| Kerberos Ticket Cache | The full file path to an MIT Kerberos credential cache file. |
| Location | A path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures. |
| Logfile | A filepath which designates the name and location of the log file. |
| Log Modules | Core modules to be included in the log file. |

| Max Log File Size | A string specifying the maximum size in bytes for a log file (for example, 10 MB). When the limit is hit, a new log is created in the same folder with the date and time appended to the end. |
| Max Rows | 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. |
| MFA Serial Number | The serial number of the MFA device if one is being used. |
| MFA Token | The temporary token available from your MFA device. |
