Miscellaneous
This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Property | Description |
| BatchSize | The maximum size of each batch operation to submit. |
| 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'. |
| ConnectionLifeTime | The maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. Once the time has elapsed, the connection object is disposed. |
| ConnectOnOpen | This property specifies whether to connect to the SAS Data Sets when the connection is opened. |
| 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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
