Location
A path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures.
Data Type
string
Default Value
"%APPDATA%\\CData\\Excel Data Provider\\Schema"
Remarks
The path to a directory which contains the schema files for the driver (.rsd files for tables and views, .rsb files for stored procedures). The folder location can be a relative path from the location of the executable. The Location property is only needed if you want to customize definitions (for example, change a column name, ignore a column, and so on) or extend the data model with new tables, views, or stored procedures.
Note that if you want to use a custom schema and you have enabled Run as a Windows Service, you must set the value of the Location connection property to the full absolute path of the schema. For example,
C:\Users\User\APPDATA\CData\Smartsheet Data Provider\Schema
If left unspecified, the default location is "%APPDATA%\\CData\\Excel Data Provider\\Schema" with %APPDATA% being set to the user's configuration directory:
Platform | %APPDATA% |
Windows | The value of the APPDATA environment variable |
Mac | ~/.config |
Linux | ~/.config |
