Miscellaneous
This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| BatchSize | Specifies the maximum number of rows included in each batch submitted during batch operations. To submit the entire batch as a single request, set BatchSize to 0 . |
| Charset | Specifies the session character set for encoding and decoding character data transferred to and from the SAS Xpt file. The default value is UTF-8. |
| ClientCulture | This property can be used to specify the format of data (e.g., currency values) that is accepted by the client application. This property can be used when the client application does not support the machine's culture settings. For example, Microsoft Access requires 'en-US'. |
| ConnectionLifeTime | Specifies the maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. When the specified time elapses, the provider closes the connection. |
| ConnectOnOpen | Specifies whether the provider establishes a connection to SAS Xpt immediately upon opening the connection. Set ConnectOnOpen to True if immediate connectivity verification is necessary. |
| Culture | This setting can be used to specify culture settings that determine how the provider interprets certain data types that are passed into the provider. For example, setting Culture='de-DE' will output German formats even on an American machine. |
| DirectoryRetrievalDepth | Limit the subfolders recursively scanned when IncludeSubdirectories is enabled. |
| ExcludeFiles | Comma-separated list of file extensions to exclude from the set of the files modeled as tables. |
| ExcludeStorageClasses | A comma seperated list of storage classes to ignore. |
| FolderId | The ID of a folder in Google Drive. If set, the resource location specified by the URI is relative to the Folder ID for all operations. |
| IncludeDropboxTeamResources | Indicates if you want to include Dropbox team files and folders. |
| IncludeFiles | Comma-separated list of file extensions to include into the set of the files modeled as tables. |
| IncludeItemsFromAllDrives | Whether Google Drive shared drive items should be included in results. If not present or set to false, then shared drive items are not returned. |
| IncludeSubdirectories | Whether to read files from nested folders. In the case of a name collision, table names are prefixed by the underscore-separated folder names. |
| MaxRows | Specifies the maximum number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY. |
| Other | Specifies additional hidden properties for specific use cases., to be used only when our Support team advises it, to address specific issues. See Remarks for details. |
| PageSize | (Optional) PageSize value. |
| PathSeparator | Determines the character which will be used to replace the file separator. |
| PoolIdleTimeout | Specifies the maximum idle time, in seconds, that a connection can remain in the pool before being closed. Requires UseConnectionPooling=True. |
| PoolMaxSize | Specifies the maximum number of connections allowed in the connection pool. |
| PoolMinSize | Specifies the minimum number of connections to be maintained in the connection pool at all times. |
| PoolWaitTime | Specifies the maximum number of seconds a connection request waits for an available connection in the pool. If the wait exceeds this time, an error is returned. |
| PseudoColumns | Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns, expressed as a string in the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. |
| RTK | Specifies the runtime key for licensing the provider. If unset or invalid, the provider defaults to the standard licensing method. This property is only required in environments where the standard licensing method is unsupported or requires a runtime key. |
