3.1.6.Advanced Settings
The settings in this section have default values which are recommended in most situations.
If you run a complex query through the database it may take a long time before any data is actually returned. In this situation you may need to increase the ReceiveTimeout value, described below, only to cater for it. 2 Minutes (default) is usually more than adequate.
