This property controls the method that the driver uses to detect column structures and data types.

Available options:

None: All columns are returned as string values. RowScan: The driver scans a sample of rows to infer data types. The RowScanDepth property determines how many rows are scanned. ColumnCount: The driver determines the number of columns to include based on the ColumnCount property, returning all values as strings.

This property is useful for adjusting schema detection based on file structure or performance needs.
