Data Integration uses the following data types in mappings and mapping tasks with Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse:
Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse native data types
Microsoft Fabric Data Warehouse data types appear in the Source and Target transformations when you choose to edit metadata for the fields.
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 Secure Agent uses to move data across platforms. Transformation data types appear in all transformations in a mapping in advanced mode.
When Data Integration reads source data, it converts the native data types to the comparable transformation data types before transforming the data. When Data Integration writes to a target, it converts the transformation data types to the comparable native data types.
