I have loaded the dataset successfully,
but there is an issue.
When the csv file is physically opened by the user then this code fails with the following error.
ERROR [HY000] [Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
1. The connection string must be modified with setting Readonly property = true.
I am still exploring this possibility
