URI
The Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for the Parquet resource location.
Data Type
string
Default Value
""
Remarks
Set the URI property to specify a path to a file or stream.
NOTE:
- This connection property requires that you set ConnectionType.
- If specifying a directory path, it is generally recommended to end the URI with a trailing path separator character, as an example 'folder1/' instead of 'folder1'.
See for more advanced features available for parsing and merging multiple files.
