Config parameters

Name	Description
`append_file_option`	If you know that the source completely over-writes the same file with new data, you can append the changes instead of upserting based on filename and line number.
`quote_character_enabled`	If you don’t want to use an enclosing character while processing the files, set the value to false. By default, the value is set to true and is considered " as quote character.
`connection_type`	Connection method. Default value: `Directly`.
`pattern`	All files in your search path matching this regular expression will be synced.
`escape_char`	If your CSV generator follows non-standard rules for escaping quotation marks, you can set the escape character here.
`json_delivery_mode`	Control how your JSON data is delivered into your destination
`skip_after`	We will skip over the number of lines specified at the end so as to not introduce aberrant data into your destination.
`quote_char`	You can specify the enclosing character used in your CSVs here. Fivetran will consider " as the quote character if this field is empty and quote_character_enabled is set to true.
`line_separator`	You can specify the custom line separator for your CSV files. The line separator is used in files to separate one row from the next.
`empty_header`	Optional. If your CSV generating software doesn't provide header line for the documents, Fivetran can generate the generic column names and sync data rows with them.
`skip_before`	We will skip over the number of lines specified before syncing data.
`null_sequence`	If your CSVs use a special value indicating null, you can specify it here.
`file_type`	If your files are saved with improper extensions, you can force them to by synced as the selected file type.
`delimiter`	You can specify your the delimiter that your CSVs use here. Fivetran generally tries to infer the delimiter, but in some cases this is impossible.
`compression`	The secrets that should be passed to the function at runtime.
`archive_pattern`	Files inside of compressed archives with filenames matching this regular expression will be synced.
`schema`	Destination schema name. Schema name is permanent and cannot be changed after connection creation
`table`	Destination table. Table is permanent and cannot be changed after connection creation
