Whether large table archive notification is enabled in SQLConsole

Y / N

Controls whether DMS notifies users when large tables are archived in SQLConsole. When set to Y, archive notifications are sent. When set to N, no archive notifications are sent.

Enable SQL statement field sensitive level propagation (prerequisite: Sensitive Data protection is enabled for the instance)

Y / N

Controls whether sensitivity levels propagate from source fields to SQL statement output fields. Requires that Sensitive Data protection is already enabled for the instance. When set to Y, sensitivity levels are propagated. When set to N, sensitivity levels are not propagated.

Maximum number of queries for the day

Integer

The maximum number of queries each user can execute per day. Once a user reaches this limit, they cannot run additional queries until the next day. This setting applies to all users within the current tenant account.

Day query rows upper limit

Integer

The maximum number of data rows that can be returned to each user per day. Once a user reaches this limit, they cannot run additional queries until the next day. This setting applies to all users within the current tenant account.

Redis gets the maximum number of polls for the key list.

Integer

The maximum number of polling iterations when Redis retrieves the key list. If the value is less than or equal to 0, no limit is imposed.

Maximum number of returned rows for cross-database queries

Integer (default: 100, maximum: 3000)

The maximum number of rows returned for cross-database queries.

Change management

Configuration item

Valid values

Description

How data changes are performed

COMMITOR / AUTO / LAST_AUDITOR

Determines who executes a data change after the associated ticket is approved. COMMITOR: The data change is performed by the user who submits the ticket. AUTO: The data change is automatically performed after the ticket is approved. LAST_AUDITOR: The data change is performed by the last user who approves the ticket.

Whether to force rollback SQL to be entered when submitting a data change work order, Y indicates that rollback SQL must be entered, and N indicates that rollback SQL is not to be force entered

Y / N

Controls whether users must provide executable rollback SQL statements when submitting a data change ticket. When set to Y, rollback SQL is required. When set to N, rollback SQL is optional.

Note

"Work order" in this setting's name refers to a ticket in DMS.

The timeout period for the number of rows affected by data change verification.

Integer (seconds)

Before performing a data change, DMS calculates the number of rows that may be affected. If the data volume is large, this calculation can take a long time. This setting specifies a timeout in seconds. DMS terminates the calculation after the timeout expires so that the data change can proceed.

Data Change reason classification

JSON string

The predefined reasons users can select when submitting a data change ticket. The value must be a valid JSON string. For the default values and format, see Appendix: Reasons for data changes.

Whether the approval node of the approval flow automatically eliminates the submitter (valid when there are multiple approvers)

Y / N

Controls whether the user who submits a ticket is automatically excluded from the list of approvers on an approval node. When set to Y, the submitter is excluded. When set to N, the submitter can also serve as an approver. This setting only applies when there are multiple approvers on an approval node.

Unauthorized Approval Configurations for Workflow

Enable / Disable

Controls whether specific roles or users can participate in ticket approval processes even if they are not designated approvers. When enabled, you can specify the applicable roles or users, ticket types, and approval templates. For example, if you assign the database administrator (DBA) role and configure a data export ticket with an approval template named Owner-->DBA, users with the DBA role can approve data export tickets that use that template. By default, when no ticket type or approval template is specified, the configured roles and users can approve all types of tickets across all approval templates. When disabled, only the approvers specified in the approval process can approve tickets. For more information, see Configure approval processes.

Minimum Word Limit for Work Order Business Background

Integer

The minimum number of characters required in the business background description of a ticket. If the value is 0 or less, no minimum is enforced.

Note

"Work Order" in this setting's name refers to a ticket in DMS.
