Boolean

LCTOKEN_WRITEBACK

Text List

LCTOKEN_ORDERNAMES

Connector-specific syntax conditional clause -- used for Select operations

Text

LCTOKEN_STAMPFIELD

Name of timestamp field used for Select operations

Text

LCTOKEN_BASESTAMP

2.00

RollbackOnError

Whether to rollback the current transaction at disconnection if the session is in an error state.
