Oracle as Target

When Oracle is used as a target location, following is the mapping of DSS repository data types to the corresponding data type in Oracle.

Oracle (al32utf8)

Text in green cell indicates the native data type of the DBMS

Oracle (cesu-8)

Text in green cell indicates the native data type of the DBMS

{% partial file="dss6/advanced-operations/data-type-mapping/oracle-cesu-8.template.md" /%}

Oracle (windows-1252)

Text in green cell indicates the native data type of the DBMS
