Data Integration uses the following data types in mappings and mapping tasks with OData V2 Protocol Writer Connector:
Native data types
OData V2 data types appear in the Fields tab for 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 Data Integration uses to move data across platforms. Transformation data types appear in all remaining transformations in a mapping, or mapping task.
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.
