Edit Query Properties

When your MAPS administrator sets up a data connection in MAPS, they can change various settings that determine how Argos (or any other MAPS application) communicates with the database. Typically, these settings can be left at their default values. However, you can choose to customize them if needed in order to communicate properly with your database. You should consult with your MAPS administrator or DBA for questions on how to connect to a specific database.

The Edit Query Properties dialog in Argos allows you to override the settings configured in MAPS so that you can use different values for a specific query. Changes made here will not affect any other queries or users of this data connection.

Some query properties pertain to all database types:

ADO connections have some additional options:

There are currently no configurable options that are specific to the MSSQL or Oracle database drivers.

Database Drivers

A connection to a SQL Server or Oracle database may use either an ADO connection or the native MSSQL/Oracle drivers to connect to the database. If you are not sure which driver your connection is using, speak to your MAPS administrator.

It is important to note that your MAPS administrator may have changed the default values when creating the data connection in MAPS. This screen does not show the values specified by the MAPS administrator, if they are something other than their default.
