Excel Files
Introduction
The ExcelFiles connector offers the most natural way to access Excel files. Simply use Excel Data Provider objects to connect and access data just as you would access any traditional database.
Connection String
The ExcelFile, under the Authentication section, must be set to a valid Excel file.
Tip: The Excel connector automatically limit the size of character based columns (nvarchar) to 2000 characters.
If more characters are required, specify the length of characters in connection string by adding Other=“DefaultColumnSize=nnnnn”; where nnnnn is the required length.
Connection String Parameters
