Attribute
UseEntityTypeNames (uetn)
Purpose
Determines how table names are derived from the OData metadata. By default, the driver uses entity set names, which typically appear in plural form (e.g., Accounts, Contacts). When this option is set to true, the driver uses entity type names instead, which are in singular form (e.g., Account, Contact). This option helps ensure consistency across applications that may use different naming conventions.
Valid Values
0 | 1
Behavior
If set to 0 (false), the driver uses the entity set names as the table names.
If set to 1 (true), the driver uses the entity type names as the
table names.
Default Value
0 (false)
