Data Type Reference Overview

Data Type Reference Overview

PowerCenter
uses the following data types in Kafka mappings:
  • Kafka native data types. Kafka data types appear in Kafka definitions in a mapping.
  • Transformation data types. Set of data types that appear in the transformations. They are internal data types based on ANSI SQL-92 generic data types, which the
    PowerCenter Integration Service
    uses to move data across platforms. They appear in all transformations in a mapping.
When the
PowerCenter Integration Service
reads source data, it converts the native data types to the comparable transformation data types before transforming the data. When the
PowerCenter Integration Service
writes to a target, it converts the transformation data types to the comparable native data types.
