Attribute
SchemaFormat
Purpose
Determines how the driver maps collections to the relational view of your data.
Valid Values
NormalizeAll | NormalizeNonFrozen | NormalizeNone
Behavior
If set to NormalizeAll, the driver normalizes all collection types when generating a relational view of your data. Collections are mapped to as child tables with foreign key relationships to parent tables. See "Complex Type Normalization" for more details.
If set to NormalizeNonFrozen, the driver normalizes collections not labeled FROZEN when generating a relational view of your data. Collection fields that are labeled FROZEN are returned as JSON strings in the table in which they are defined.
If set to NormalizeNone, the driver does not normalize any collection types when generating a relational view of your data. All collection fields are returned as JSON formatted strings in the table in which they are defined.
Default
NormalizeAll
