Typically, these settings are defaulted correctly for the SQL Server.

If queries timeout, increase the Client Wait Time.

The delimiter and timestamp settings are typically filled in automatically for the database and can be modified for other databases.

The Date/Time Storage settings define how timestamps are stored in the database. Using this setting the timestamps are manipulated when data is retrieved so that local timestamps are submitted in and returned.

Many databases require the Date format to be YYYY-MM-DD so that no interpretation needs to occur based on the Region settings of the Windows Operating System. It is recommended to always have this option checked.
