Question
Which of the following VLDB properties govern the length of a SQL string as well as the time a SQL pass takes to execute? (Select all that apply).
A. SQL Time Out (Per Pass)
B. Preserve All Lookup Table Elements
C. Result Set Row Limit
D. Maximum SQL/MDX Size
E. Allow Index on Metric
Answer
Both
A. SQL Time Out (Per Pass)
and
D. Maximum SQL/MDX Size
Maximum SQL/MDX Size and SQL Time Out (Per Pass)
The Maximum SQL/MDX Size and SQL Time Out (Per Pass) VLDB Properties govern the length of a SQL string as well as the time a SQL pass can take to execute.
Maximum SQL/MDX Size sets the maximum size (in bytes), on a pass-by-pass basis, of the SQL that the ODBC driver sends to the warehouse. Or, in the case of MDX, it sets the maximum size of the MDX that is sent to multidimensional cube sources such as SAP BW, Hyperion Essbase, or Microsoft Analysis Services.
If a pass exceeds the limit, the report execution terminates and an error message displays:
The possible value for this VLDB property is any valid integer. The default value is 0 (No limit).
SQL Time Out (Per Pass) sets the maximum duration allowed (in seconds) for each SQL pass (even intermediate passes). If any pass of SQL runs longer then its allocated time, the report fails and an error message displays:
The value you enter to define this VLDB property must be an integer.
