Oracle target data types

The Oracle database for Qlik Replicate supports most Oracle data types. The following table shows the Oracle target data types that are supported when using Qlik Replicate and the default mapping from Qlik Replicate data types.

For information on how to view the data type that is mapped from the source, see the section for the source database you are using.

For additional information about Qlik Replicate data types, see Replicate data types.

NVARCHAR2 (length)

Note that when length is greater than 2000, the column data type will be NCLOB.

BLOB

BLOB

To use this data type with Qlik Replicate, you must enable the use of BLOBs for a specific task.

During CDC or during Full Load when the Allow unlimited LOB size option is enabled, LOB data types are supported only in tables with a primary key or unique index.

The XMLTYPE target data type is only relevant in Oracle-to-Oracle replication tasks. See the note below.

XMLTYPE

Information note

When the source database is Oracle, the source data types will be replicated "as is" to the Oracle target. For example, an XMLTYPE data type on the source will be created as an XMLTYPE data type on the target.
