Config parameters

Name	Description
`connection_type`	Possible values:`Directly`, `PrivateLink`, `SshTunnel`. `SshTunnel` is used as a value if this parameter is omitted in the request and any of the following parameter's values is specified: `tunnel_host`, `tunnel_port`, `tunnel_user`. Otherwise, `Directly` is used as a value if the parameter is omitted.
`update_method`	The method used to detect new or changed rows. Supported values: - `LOGMINER` - Fivetran uses LogMiner, a utility that is part of Oracle Database, to detect modified rows in the source tables. - `TELEPORT` - Fivetran's proprietary replication method that uses compressed snapshots to detect and apply changes.
`pdb_name`	Optional: Required only for containerized database.
`always_encrypted`	Require TLS through Tunnel
`tunnel_user`	SSH user, specify only to connect via an SSH tunnel.
