IOJ-1737437 Business adapters

Supplied schema.ini files are deleted when running a business import to import data from a text file unless delimiter is configured as "none"

Add ";FMT=Delimited(None)" in the properties in the ConnectionString.

This will result in an <Import> element appearing similar to the following:

<Import Type="CSV" Delimiter="<value>" ConnectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Source;Extended
Properties='text;HDR=Yes;FMT=Delimited(None)'" Query="select * from [Data.csv]"
