Sampling

You can specify a sample size when you create a database data source.

Normally Exonar crawls every row of a table or view. If you set a sample size of 1000, for example, it crawls the first 1000 rows only.

This can be useful if you have large tables.

Crawling every table

When you create a database data source, you usually select one table to crawl. The SQL Server data source has an option that allows you to crawl all the tables.

If you select that option and you set a sample size of 1000, it crawls the first 1000 rows of every table.
