Link Attributes

(Optional) Click Add to add the JDBC connector attributes of multiple specified data sources. For details, see the JDBC connector document of the corresponding database.

The following are some examples:
  • connectTimeout=360000 and socketTimeout=360000: When a large amount of data needs to be migrated or the entire table is retrieved using query statements, the migration fails due to connection timeout. In this case, you can customize the connection timeout interval (ms) and socket timeout interval (ms) to prevent failures caused by timeout.
  • useCursorFetch=false: By default, useCursorFetch is enabled, indicating that the JDBC connector communicates with relational databases using a binary protocol. Some third-party systems may have compatibility issues, causing migration time conversion errors. In this case, you can disable this function. Open-source MySQL databases support the useCursorFetch parameter, and you do not need to set this parameter.

sslmode=require

Reference Sign

(Optional) Delimiter between the names of the referenced tables or columns. For details, see the product documentation of the corresponding database.
