Microsoft SQL Server source data types
The Microsoft SQL Server source for Qlik Replicate supports most Microsoft SQL Server data types. The following table shows the Microsoft SQL Server source data types that are supported when using Qlik Replicate and the default mapping to Qlik Replicate data types. Note that Microsoft SQL Server data types are only mapped to Qlik Replicate data types when the target endpoint is not Microsoft SQL Server. For information on data type mapping and collation support when the target endpoint is Microsoft SQL Server, see Homogeneous replication below.
For information on how to view the data type that is mapped in the target, see the section for the target endpoint you are using.
For additional information about Qlik Replicate data types, see Replicate data types.
When row size exceeds 8060, the VARCHAR, NVARCHAR, and VARBINARY data types will be stored out-of-row. To replicate such data, use the source lookup function described in Data Enrichment.
Collatable data types are indicated by an asterisk (*).
