Accessing Sub-Folders
Set the following properties to model subfolders as views:
- IncludeSubdirectories: Set this to read files and Schema.ini from nested folders. In the case of a name collision, table names are prefixed by underscore-separated folder names. By default this is false.
- DirectoryRetrievalDepth: Set this to specify how many subfolders will be recursively scanned when IncludeSubdirectories is set. By default, the provider scans all subfolders.
When IncludeSubdirectories is set, the automatically detected table names follow the convention below:
| File Path | Root\subfolder1\tableA | Root\subfolder1\subfolder2\tableA |
| Table Name | subfolder1_tableA | subfolder1_subfolder2_tableA |
