SAP HANA and Transformation Datatypes

SAP HANA datatypes map to transformation datatypes that the Data Integration Service uses to move data across platforms.

The following table compares SAP HANA datatypes and transformation datatypes:

SAP HANA Datatype	Range	Transformation Datatype	Range
Alphanum	Precision 1 to 127	Nstring	1 to 104,857,600 characters
Bigint	-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807	Bigint	-9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 Precision 19, scale 0
Binary	Used to store bytes of binary data	Binary	1 to 104,857,600 bytes
Blob	Up to 2 GB	Binary	1 to 104,857,600 bytes
Clob	Up to 2 GB	Text	1 to 104,857,600 characters
Date	Jan 1, 0001 A.D. to Dec 31, 9999 A.D. Precision 10, scale 0	Date/Time	Jan 1, 0001 A.D. to Dec 31, 9999 A.D. (precision to the nanosecond)
Decimal (precision, scale) or Dec (p, s)	Precision 1 to 34	Decimal	For transformations that support precision up to 38 digits, the precision is 1 to 38 digits, and the scale is 0 to 38. For transformations that support precision up to 28 digits, the precision is 1 to 28 digits, and the scale is 0 to 28. 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.
Double	Specifies a single-precision 64-bit floating-point number	Double	Precision 15
Float	Precision 1 to 53	Double	Precision 15
Integer	-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647	Integer	-2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 Precision 10, scale 0
NClob	Up to 2 GB	Ntext	1 to 104,857,600 characters
Nvarchar	Precision 1 to 5000	Nstring	1 to 104,857,600 characters
Real	Specifies a single-precision 32-bit floating-point number	Real	Precision 7, scale 0
Seconddate	0001-01-01 00:00:01 to 9999-12-31 24:00:00	Date/Time	Jan 1, 0001 A.D. to Dec 31, 9999 A.D. (precision to the nanosecond)
Shorttext	Specifies a variable-length character string, which supports text search and string search features	Nstring	1 to 104,857,600 characters
Smalldecimal	Precision 1 to 16	Decimal	Precision 1 to 28, scale 0 to 28
Smallint	-32,768 to 32,767	Small Integer	Precision 5, scale 0
Text	Specifies a variable-length character string, which supports text search features	Text	1 to 104,857,600 characters
Time	24-hour time period	Date/Time	Jan 1, 0001 A.D. to Dec 31, 9999 A.D. (precision to the nanosecond)
Timestamp	0001-01-01 00:00:00.0000000 to 9999-12-31 23:59:59.9999999	Date/Time	Jan 1, 0001 A.D. to Dec 31, 9999 A.D. (precision to the nanosecond)
Tinyint	0 to 255	Small Integer	Precision 5, scale 0
Varchar	Precision 1 to 5000	String	1 to 104,857,600 characters
Varbinary	1 to 5000 bytes	Binary	1 to 104,857,600 bytes
