CSV file date format is not recognised as set in driver properties - default is used

System information:

• Operating system: WINDOWS 10 Latest
• DBeaver version: 21.0.0.202103021012
• Additional extensions: none

Connection specification:

• Database name and version: Flat Files / CSV
• Driver name: Flat files / CSV

Describe the problem you’re observing:

I have data file where date is in dd/MM/yyyy format; dbeaver default format is yyyy-MM-dd I created 2 test tables and connected to dbeaver (both files in same directory): caseload2

"CreatedDate","ClientID"
01/08/1971,127207
02/04/1966,1443709
03/02/1969,144759
08/02/1987,1111932
19/01/1969,116062

and caseload1

"CreatedDate","ClientID"
1971-08-01,127207
1966-04-02,1443709
1969-02-03,144759
1987-02-08,1111932
1969-12-19,116062

I have specified column types and date format in driver properties: dateFormat: dd/MM/yyyy charset: UTF-8 columnTypes: date/integer fileExtension: .csv

above are the only bold/non-default changes to driver properties.

CreatedDate is not read at all from caseload2 CreatedDate is read from caseload1 even though I have specified other format (with slashes) in driver properties.

Steps to reproduce, if exist:

e.g. make above 2 CSV files, make CSV connection to the directory and run:

select MAX(CreatedDate) 
FROM caseload2 
;
MAX([CreatedDate])|
------------------|
                  |

and

select MAX(CreatedDate) 
FROM caseload1 
;
MAX([CreatedDate])|
------------------|
        1987-02-08|

Include any warning/errors/backtraces from the logs

No errors are produced in logs.

The SQL queries listed in this issue work correctly for me using DBeaver 21.0.1.202103211229 on Windows 10.

The SQL queries also worked correctly for me using CsvJdbc directly in a Java test program.

In the DBeaver Driver properties tab under Connection Settings, I added dateFormat dd/MM/yyyy to the User Properties list, like in the screenshot below.

It is also possible to edit dateFormat directly under Driver properties, like in the screenshot below. When I do this, the SQL queries do not work, because DBeaver does not pass the dateFormat dd/MM/yyyy property down to CsvJdbc. Could this be the problem?
