ClosedTransaction Interval

This parameter determines how many features are pushed to the remote server at a time.

Setting a high value for the transaction size can result in increased performance, since there can be significant overhead associated with each network request.

The default is 1000.

ClosedUse GeoJSON Specification

This parameter determines whether or not newly created tables will be interpreted as containing valid GeoJSON.

If the new table is intended to contain other data in addition to GeoJSON, set this parameter to No. This parameter is disabled if Write Raw JSON is set to Yes.
