There are a host of database properties. Some have historically been accessible from Database class, but some are accessible only via DXL. You can view these in Domino Designer, in the Package Explorer view, by opening up AppProperties and database.properties.

The key here is that you need to export more than one design note to get the database element (e.g. export the ACL and Icon note, which is what's done in this design element). From here, all the properties visible on the Database Properties infobox in Notes are accessible as well as some database properties not exposed there (e.g. whether DAOS is enabled). Some are attributes of the database element, some are items on the Icon note. Some are set as attributes if they're checked, some set if they're not checked. Some are boolean values. Some, like fromtemplate, are text. Some, like softdeletionsexpirein or maxupdatedby, have numeric values stored as text attributes. The good news is the API makes them all accessible from the DatabaseDesign object, even if they're actually stored in the Icon note.

Retrieving the Database Design

To access the Database Design object for a specific database, just use Database.getDesign().

Database Properties

The Database Properties are available via the getDatabaseProperties and setDatabaseProperties methods. The getter returns a List<DatabaseProperties> object and the setter takes a Map<DatabaseProperties, boolean>. However, some Database Properties cannot be set because they have specific setter methods (template name) or need to be enabled via server commands (e.g. DAOS). Below are the details of all the Database Properties available, where they appear on the Database Properties infobox and setter information.
