Kafka and Transformation Data Types

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.

The following table lists the Kafka data types that PowerCenter supports and the corresponding transformation data types:

Kafka Data Type	Transformation Data Type	Range and Description
BINARY	Binary	1 to 104,857,600 bytes
INTEGER	Integer	Precision 10, scale 0
RAW	Binary	1 to 104,857,600 bytes
STRING	Nstring	1 to 104,857,600 characters
TIMESTAMP	Date/Time	Date and time values. (precision to the nanosecond)
