Snowflake on AWS data types

The Snowflake on AWS endpoint for Qlik Replicate supports most Snowflake data types. The following table shows the Snowflake on AWS target data types that are supported when using Qlik Replicate and the default mapping from Qlik Replicate data types.

Information note

Snowflake on AWS does not support applying changes to binary data types in Batch optimized apply mode. For more information on Batch optimized apply mode, see Change Processing Tuning.

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.
