Default Value

Remarks

Whether to read files from nested folders. When accessing local CSV, the cmdlet honors Schema.ini defined in subfolders. Table names are prefixed by each nested folder name separated by underscores only in the case of a table name conflict. For example,

When defining a Schema.ini for local CSV folders, table names do not need to be prefixed in the section names. This allows you to move the folder or use the cmdlet alongside the OLEDB Jet Driver.

Archive files (ZIP, GZ, TAR) are also supported and treated like folders.
