Oracle and Transformation Data Types

Oracle and Transformation Data Types

Oracle data types map to transformation data types that the Data Integration Service uses to move data across platforms.

The following table compares Oracle data types and transformation data types:

Oracle	Range	Transformation	Range
Blob	Up to 4 GB	Binary	1 to 104,857,600 bytes
Char(L)	1 to 2,000 bytes	String	1 to 104,857,600 characters
Clob	Up to 4 GB	Text	1 to 104,857,600 characters
Date	Jan. 1, 4712 B.C. to Dec. 31, 4712 A.D. Precision 19, scale 0	Date/Time	Jan 1, 0001 A.D. to Dec 31, 9999 A.D. (precision to the nanosecond)
Float	Precision of 1 to 15, scale 0	Double	Precision of 15, scale 0
Long	Up to 2 GB	Text	1 to 104,857,600 characters If you include Long data in a mapping, the Integration Service converts it to the transformation String data type, and truncates it to 104,857,600 characters.
Long Raw	Up to 2 GB	Binary	1 to 104,857,600 bytes
Nchar	1 to 2,000 bytes	String	1 to 104,857,600 characters
Nclob	Up to 4 GB	Text	1 to 104,857,600 characters
Number	Precision of 1 to 38	Double	Precision of 15
Number(P,S)	Precision of 1 to 38, scale of 0 to 38	Decimal	For transformations that support precision up to 38 digits, the precision is 1 to 38 digits, and the scale is 0 to 38. If you specify the precision greater than the maximum number of digits, the Data Integration Service converts decimal values to double in high precision mode.
Nvarchar2	1 to 4,000 bytes	String	1 to 104,857,600 characters
Raw	1 to 2,000 bytes	Binary	1 to 104,857,600 bytes
Timestamp	Jan. 1, 4712 B.C. to Dec. 31, 9999 A.D. Precision 19 to 29, scale 0 to 9 (precision to the nanosecond)	Date/Time	Jan 1, 0001 A.D. to Dec 31, 9999 A.D. (precision to the nanosecond)
Timestamp with Time Zone	Jan. 1, 4712 B.C. to Dec. 31, 9999 A.D. -12:00 to +14:00 Precision of 26 to 36, scale 0 to 9. (precision to the nanosecond)	timestampWithTZ	Aug. 1, 1947 A.D to Dec. 31, 2040 A.D. -12:00 to +14:00 Precision of 36 and scale of 9. (precision to the nanosecond) Timestamp with Time Zone data type does not support the following time zone regions: AFRICA_CAIRO AFRICA_MONROVIA EGYPT AMERICA_MONTREAL
Timestamp with Local Time Zone	Jan. 1, 4712 B.C. to Dec. 31, 9999 A.D. Precision 19 to 29, scale 0 to 9 (precision to the nanosecond)	Date/Time	Jan 1, 0001 A.D. to Dec 31, 9999 A.D. (precision to the nanosecond)
Varchar	1 to 4,000 bytes	String	1 to 104,857,600 characters
Varchar2	1 to 4,000 bytes	String	1 to 104,857,600 characters
XMLType	Up to 4 GB	Text	1 to 104,857,600 characters
