# ChangesFromContentDatabase

When the SharePoint OData Connector runs an incremental synchronize cycle, it requests changes from SharePoint at the site-collection level. This can be time consuming if a SharePoint installation contains many site collections, because they all have to be queried. To request changes at the content database level instead, set this parameter to `true`. The connector will then query a site collection only if changes are reported.

CAUTION: If you set `IndexHidden=true` and `ChangesFromContentDatabase=true`, the connector cannot retrieve updates to hidden lists and list items. This is due to a limitation with the Microsoft SharePoint APIs.
