This property specifies whether to connect to the Azure Data Lake Storage when the connection is opened.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

false

Remarks

When set to true, a connection will be made to Azure Data Lake Storage when the connection is opened. This property enables the Test Connection feature available in various database tools.

This feature acts as a NOOP command as it is used to verify a connection can be made to Azure Data Lake Storage and nothing from this initial connection is maintained.

Setting this property to false may provide performance improvements (depending upon the number of times a connection is opened).
