If it is set to 0, there is no timeout. The default is 30.
Constraints
Table List
Enter (or browse for) the name(s) of specific database table(s) to import.
WHERE Clause
Any SQL where clause can be applied to the columns of a table to limit the resulting features.

LENGTH > 2000
Schema Attributes
Additional Attributes to Expose
Use this parameter to expose Format Attributes in Workbench when you create a workspace:
- In a dynamic scenario, it means these attributes can be passed to the output dataset at runtime.
- In a non-dynamic scenario where you have multiple feature types, it is convenient to expose additional attributes using this one parameter. For example, if you have ten feature types and want to expose the same attribute in each one, it is easier to define it once than it is to set each feature type individually in the workspace.
