Miscellaneous
This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| Charset | Specifies the session character set for encoding and decoding character data transferred to and from the SAS Data Sets 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'. |
| 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. |
| DeleteDownloadedFiles | When set to true, the provider will delete parsed .sas7bdat files downloaded from cloud sources. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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 | Limits the number of rows returned rows when no aggregation or group by is used in the query. This helps avoid performance issues at design time. |
| Other | These hidden properties are used only in specific use cases. |
| Readonly | You can use this property to enforce read-only access to SAS Data Sets from the provider. |
| TemporaryLocalFolder | The path, or URI, to the folder that is used to temporarily download SAS file(s). |
| Timeout | The value in seconds until the timeout error is thrown, canceling the operation. |
| UserDefinedViews | A filepath pointing to the JSON configuration file containing your custom views. |
