Supported data types

The following table shows the Microsoft Fabric target data types that are supported when using Qlik Replicate and the default mapping from Qlik Replicate data types.

The data type mapping differs according to whether the Microsoft Fabric target is a data warehouse or a mirrored database.

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.

Supported data types when replicating to a Microsoft Fabric data warehouse

The following data types are supported when replicating to a Microsoft Fabric data warehouse.

Supported data types

BOOL

BIT

BYTES

If length is 1-8000, then:

VARBINARY (Length in Bytes)

If length exceeds 8000, then:

VARBINARY (8000)

DATE

If scale is 0-6, then:

TIME (Scale)

If scale exceeds 6, then:

TIME (6)

TIMESTAMP

If scale is 0-6, then:

DATETIME2 (Scale)

If scale exceeds 6, then:

DATETIME2 (6)

If length in bytes is 1-8000, then:

VARCHAR (Length in Bytes)

If length in bytes exceeds 8000, then:

VARCHAR (8000)

UINT1

SMALLINT

UINT2

INT

UINT4

BIGINT

UINT8

DECIMAL (20,0)

WSTRING

If length in bytes is 1-8000, then:

VARCHAR (Length in Bytes)

If length in bytes exceeds 8000, then:

VARCHAR (8000)

BLOB

VARBINARY (8000)

Information note
  • VARBINARY (8000) applies to the entire record. So, for example, if the record contains two BLOB columns, their total size cannot exceed 8000 bytes.
  • When capturing changes, the maximum number of bytes that can be captured is 4000.

NCLOB

VARCHAR (8000)

CLOB

VARCHAR (8000)
