ADO.NET Provider for CSV

Build 24.0.9175

Miscellaneous

This section provides a complete list of the Miscellaneous properties you can configure in the connection string for this provider.


PropertyDescription
BatchNamingConventionDetermines the naming convention of batch files.
BatchSizeSpecifies the maximum number of rows included in each batch operation. Set to 0 to submit the entire batch as a single request.
ClientCultureThis 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'.
ConnectionLifeTimeSpecifies the maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. When the specified time elapses, the provider closes the connection. Set to 0 or leave empty for no time limit.
CreateBatchFolderWhether to create a folder when InsertMode is set to FilePerBatch.
CultureThis 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.
CustomHeadersSpecifies additional HTTP headers to append to the request headers created from other properties, such as ContentType and From. Use this property to customize requests for specialized or nonstandard APIs.
CustomUrlParamsA string of custom URL parameters to be included with the HTTP request, in the form field1=value1&field2=value2&field3=value3.
DirectoryRetrievalDepthLimit the subfolders recursively scanned when IncludeSubdirectories is enabled.
ExcludeFileExtensionsSet to true if file extensions should be excluded from table names.
ExcludeFilesComma-separated list of file extensions to exclude from the set of the files modeled as tables.
FolderIdThe 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.
GenerateSchemaFilesIndicates the user preference as to when schemas should be generated and saved.
IncludeDropboxTeamResourcesIndicates if you want to include Dropbox team files and folders.
IncludeFilesComma-separated list of file extensions to include into the set of the files modeled as tables.
IncludeItemsFromAllDrivesWhether Google Drive shared drive items should be included in results. If not present or set to false, then shared drive items are not returned.
IncludeSubdirectoriesWhether to read files from nested folders. In the case of a name collision, table names are prefixed by the underscore-separated folder names.
InsertModeSpecifies the mode for inserting data into CSV files.
MaxRowsSpecifies the maximum rows returned for queries without aggregation or GROUP BY.
OtherSpecifies additional hidden properties for specific use cases. These are not required for typical provider functionality. Use a semicolon-separated list to define multiple properties.
PagesizeSpecifies the maximum number of results to return from CSV, per page. This setting overrides the default page size set by the datasource, which is optimized for most use cases.
PoolIdleTimeoutSpecifies the maximum idle time, in seconds, that a connection can remain in the pool before being closed.
PoolMaxSizeSpecifies the maximum number of connections allowed in the connection pool. The default value is 100. Set to 0 or a negative value to disable pooling.
PoolMinSizeSpecifies the minimum number of connections maintained in the connection pool. The default value is 1.
PoolWaitTimeSpecifies 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. The default is 60 seconds.
PseudoColumnsSpecifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns. Use the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'. The default is an empty string, which disables this property.
ReadonlyToggles read-only access to CSV from the provider.
RTKSpecifies the runtime key for licensing the provider. If unset or invalid, the provider defaults to the standard licensing method. Use this property only in environments where the standard licensing method is unsupported or requires a runtime key.
TimeoutSpecifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error. The default is 60 seconds. Set to 0 to disable the timeout.
TruncateOnInsertsSet to True if you want the provider to truncate on every (batch) INSERT.
UseConnectionPoolingEnables the connection pooling feature, which allows the provider to reuse existing connections instead of creating new ones for each request.
UserDefinedViewsSpecifies a filepath to a JSON configuration file defining custom views. The provider automatically detects and uses the views specified in this file.
UseRowNumbersSet this to true if you are deleting or updating in CSV and you do not want to specify a custom schema. This will create a new column with the name RowNumber which will be used as key for that table.
