Virtual memory limit
SQL Image Viewer will consume a lot of memory when fetching result sets containing large images. Setting this option allows SQL Image Viewer to stop fetching records from the database when SQL Image Viewer's virtual memory utilization exceeds this limit.

The default value is 128 MB below the installed physical memory. This means that if your workstation has 512 MB of RAM installed, SQL Image Viewer will stop fetching data when its virtual memory utilization reaches 384 MB.

Note that this setting affects only queries ran from the SQL editor. Queries ran from the Export Images Wizard are not affected by this limit. See this guide for further details.

Temporary folder
This is the folder that SQL Image Viewer uses to store temporary files, when you choose to open them from within SQL Image Viewer.

Database connection timeout
This is the maximum time (in seconds) in which SQL Image Viewer will wait while attempting to connect to the selected database.
