Specifies whether the provider uses the DESCRIBE FORMATTED command to determine whether an object in Databricks is a table or a view.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

When this property is set to true, the driver issues a DESCRIBE FORMATTED command to retrieve detailed metadata and identify whether a specified object in Databricks is a table or a view.

When this property is set to false, the driver skips this additional check, which can improve performance but may prevent accurate detection of views.

This property is useful when working with mixed environments that contain both tables and views, ensuring that object types are correctly identified during metadata discovery.
