a usual connection string would look like

Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\file.csv;Extended Properties="text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited";

  • ColNameHeader
  • Format
  • MaxScanRows
  • CharacterSet
  • Locale

is there a way to define those in the connectionstring, or via registry or any other way, without having access to other files.

i’ve already looked up http://www.connectionstrings.com/textfile and many others
