Connection String Parameters for Google Sheets
The connection string properties are the various options that can be used to establish a connection. This section provides a complete list of the options you can configure in the connection string for this provider.
| Name | Description |
| APIKey | If your client application does not use OAuth 2.0, then it must include an API key when it calls an API that's enabled within a Google Cloud Platform project. |
| AutoAdjustRange | If set to true, the driver will automatically expand the dimensions in case the updated/insert/deleted value is outside the range of the sheet. |
| AutoCache | Automatically caches the results of SELECT queries into a cache database specified by either CacheLocation or both of CacheConnection and CacheProvider . |
| CacheConnection | The connection string for the cache database. This property is always used in conjunction with CacheProvider . Setting both properties will override the value set for CacheLocation for caching data. |
| CacheLocation | Specifies the path to the cache when caching to a file. |
| CacheMetadata | This property determines whether or not to cache the table metadata to a file store. |
| CacheProvider | The name of the provider to be used to cache data. |
| CacheTolerance | The tolerance for stale data in the cache specified in seconds when using AutoCache . |
| ConnectionLifeTime | The maximum lifetime of a connection in seconds. Once the time has elapsed, the connection object is disposed. |
| DateTimeRenderOption | Determines how dates, times, and durations should be represented in the output. This is ignored if the ValueRenderOption is FormattedValue. The default datetime render option is SerialNumber. |
| DefineTables | Define the tables within the Google Spreadsheet. |
| DeleteRowOrColumn | Indicates whether or not the row or column should be deleted. |
| DomainSharedFilesOnly | Boolean determining if the exposed sheets are limited to only the sheets shared to the user's domain or not. |
| FirewallPassword | A password used to authenticate to a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallPort | The TCP port for a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallServer | The name or IP address of a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallType | The protocol used by a proxy-based firewall. |
| FirewallUser | The user name to use to authenticate with a proxy-based firewall. |
| FolderId | A comma separated list of the folders' ids from which to retrieve spreadsheets in the format FolderId='id1,id2,id3'. |
| FolderName | A comma separated list of the folders' names from which to retrieve spreadsheets in the format FolderName='name1,name2'. |
| Header | Indicates whether or not the first row should be used as a column header. |
| InitiateOAuth | Set this property to initiate the process to obtain or refresh the OAuth access token when you connect. |
| InsertDataOption | Determines how existing data is changed when new data is input. |
| Location | A path to the directory that contains the schema files defining tables, views, and stored procedures. |
| Logfile | A path to the log file. |
| MaxLogFileCount | A string specifying the maximum file count of log files. When the limit is hit, a new log is created in the same folder with the date and time appended to the end and the oldest log file will be deleted. |
| MaxLogFileSize | A string specifying the maximum size in bytes for a log file (for example, 10 MB). When the limit is hit, a new log is created in the same folder with the date and time appended to the end. |
| MaxRows | Limits the number of rows returned rows when no aggregation or group by is used in the query. This helps avoid performance issues at design time. |
| NullValueMode | Indicates whether to read empty cells as null or as empty. |
| OAuthAccessToken | The access token for connecting using OAuth. |
| OAuthClientId | The client ID assigned when you register your application with an OAuth authorization server. |

| OAuthJWTCertType | The type of key store containing the JWT Certificate. |
| OAuthJWTIssuer | The issuer of the Java Web Token. |
| OAuthJWTSubject | The user subject for which the application is requesting delegated access. |
| OAuthRefreshToken | The OAuth refresh token for the corresponding OAuth access token. |
| OAuthSettingsLocation | The location of the settings file where OAuth values are saved when InitiateOAuth is set to GETANDREFRESH or REFRESH. Alternatively, this can be held in memory by specifying a value starting with memory://. |
| OAuthVerifier | The verifier code returned from the OAuth authorization URL. |
| Offline | Use offline mode to get the data from the cache instead of the live source. |
| Orientation | Indicates whether the data in the sheet is laid out horizontally or vertically. |

| PoolMaxSize | The maximum connections in the pool. |
| PoolMinSize | The minimum number of connections in the pool. |
| PoolWaitTime | The max seconds to wait for an available connection. |
| PrimaryKeyIdentifier | Set this property to control the name of the primary key. |
| ProxyAuthScheme | The authentication type to use to authenticate to the ProxyServer proxy. |
| ProxyAutoDetect | This indicates whether to use the system proxy settings or not. This takes precedence over other proxy settings, so you'll need to set ProxyAutoDetect to FALSE in order use custom proxy settings. |
| ProxyExceptions | A semicolon separated list of hosts or IPs that are exempt from connecting through the ProxyServer . |

| RTK | The runtime key used for licensing. |
| ShowEmptyRows | Indicates whether or not the empty rows should be pushed. |
| ShowTrashedFiles | Indicates whether or not the trashed files will be listed. |
| Spreadsheet | A comma-separated list of the names or Ids of the spreadsheets to be viewed. |
| SSLServerCert | The certificate to be accepted from the server when connecting using TLS/SSL. |
