Default Value

"System"

Remarks

You can set this connection property to the following values:

  • System: Exposes Microsoft Dataverse objects with less detailed metadata. Tables use system-level names. Due to the relative simplicity of the metadata returned, retrieving data from this schema is faster. This schema is selected by default.
  • Entities: Exposes Microsoft Dataverse objects with more detailed metadata (including details about annotations and data types), as well as more user-friendly table names. Due to the increased complexity of the metadata returned, retrieving data from this schema takes longer.
