Microsoft Azure Blob Storage Data Type Reference Overview
Informatica Cloud applications use the String Microsoft Azure Blob Storage native data type and the String Transformation data type in tasks.
- Microsoft Azure Blob Storage native data types
- Microsoft Azure Blob Storage 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 remaining transformations. They are internal data types based on ANSI SQL-92 generic data types, which Informatica Cloud uses to move data across platforms. Transformation data types appear in all remaining transformations in mappings, data synchronization tasks, or mapping configuration tasks.
When the Informatica Cloud application reads source data, it converts the native data types to the comparable transformation data types before transforming the data. When the Informatica Cloud application.writes to a target, it converts the transformation data types to the comparable native data types. You can use fields of the String data type that contain entries from one to 104,857,600 characters.
