Miscellaneous

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


PropertyDescription
BatchNamingConventionDetermines the naming convention of batch files.
BatchSizeSpecifies the maximum number of rows included in each batch submitted during batch operations. To submit the entire batch as a single request, set BatchSize to 0 .
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'.
ConnectOnOpenSpecifies whether the provider establishes a connection to CSV immediately upon opening the connection. Set ConnectOnOpen to True if immediate connectivity verification is necessary.
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.
DefaultDomainThis property is used for the Oracle Database Gateway for ODBC.
DirectoryRetrievalDepthLimit the subfolders recursively scanned when IncludeSubdirectories is enabled.
EnableForeignKeyDetectionWhether to detect the foreign keys in ODBC.
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.
ExcludeStorageClassesA comma seperated list of storage classes to ignore.
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.
IncludeDualTableSet this property to mock the Oracle DUAL table for better compatibility with Oracle database.
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.
LimitKeySizeThe maximum length of a primary key column.
MapBigintToVarcharThis property controls whether or not the bigint type maps to SQL_VARCHAR instead of SQL_BIGINT. This property is false by default.
MapToIntThis property controls whether or not the long type maps to SQL_INTEGER instead of SQL_BIGINT. This property is false by default.
MapToLongVarcharThis property controls whether or not a column is returned as SQL_LONGVARCHAR.
MapToWVarcharThis property controls whether or not string types map to SQL_WVARCHAR instead of SQL_VARCHAR. This property is set by default.
MaximumColumnSizeThe maximum column size.
MaxRowsSpecifies the maximum number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY.
OtherSpecifies additional hidden properties for specific use cases., to be used only when our Support team advises it, to address specific issues. See Remarks for details.
PagesizeSpecifies the maximum number of records per page the provider returns when requesting data from CSV.
PseudoColumnsSpecifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns, expressed as a string in the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'.
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. This property is only required 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.
TruncateOnInsertsSet to True if you want the provider to truncate on every (batch) INSERT.
UpperCaseIdentifiersThis property reports all identifiers in uppercase. This is the default for Oracle databases and thus allows better integration with Oracle tools such as the Oracle Database Gateway.
UserDefinedViewsSpecifies a filepath to a JSON configuration file that defines 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.
