Name Type Required Description
blockfactor number No Specifies the maximum number of rows to fetch at a time from the server. The range is 1,
default to 100. This parameter applies to ORACLE native database drivers and to ODBC drivers.
Certain ODBC drivers may dynamically reduce the block factor at runtime. 
cachedafter datetime No This is the age of which the query data can be 
cachedwithin any No possible values are:
String "request": If original query was created within the current request, cached query data isused.
a timespan (created with function CreateTimeSpan): If original query date falls within the time span, cached query data isused.

To use cached data, the current query must use the same SQL statement, data source, query name, user name, and password. 
cachename string No This Attribute is deprecated

lazy boolean No if "lazy" is set to true (default "false") Lucee does not initially load all the data from the datasource,
in that case the data are only loaded when requested, so this means the data are depending on the datasource connection.

lazy is only working when the following attributes are not used: cachewithin,cacheafter,result 
maxrows number No Specifies the maximum number of rows to return in the record set.
