Supported data types
The following table shows the supported Oracle source data types and their default mapping to Data Movement gateway data types.
When landing to an Oracle -based target, the source and target data types are the same, apart from the exceptions described in Homogeneous replication.
For information on how to view the data type that is mapped in the target, see the section for the target connector you are using.

Unsupported data types
The following data types are not supported:
- BFILE
- ROWID
- REF
- UROWID
- ANYDATA
- SDO_GEOMETRY
- User-defined data types
- Virtual columns are not supported.
- As the ROWID data type is not supported, materialized views based on a ROWID column are also not supported.
