Data Transmission Service:Data type mappings for initial schema synchronization

Last Updated:Oct 30, 2024

Heterogeneous databases have different data types. When Data Transmission Service (DTS) synchronizes data between heterogeneous databases, DTS converts the data types of the source database to those of the destination database. This topic describes the data type mappings for you to view and evaluate the impact of data synchronization on your business.

Overview

You can view the data type mappings between heterogeneous databases based on the following synchronization scenarios:

Synchronize data from a MySQL database

The following table describes the data type mappings between a source MySQL database and a destination AnalyticDB database. The source database can be a self-managed MySQL database, an ApsaraDB RDS for MySQL instance, or a PolarDB for MySQL cluster. The destination database can be an AnalyticDB for MySQL V2.0 cluster or an AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL instance.

Note

If the value range of the data to be synchronized from the source database exceeds the range supported by DTS, the accuracy of the data written to the destination database decreases.

Important
  • We recommend that you map the DATETIME data in the source database to data of the VARCHAR type in the destination database.

  • If you want to map the DATETIME data to data of the TIMESTAMP type, data inconsistency may occur due to the difference in time zones. We recommend that you use the extract, transform, and load (ETL) feature when you configure the data synchronization task. This ensures data consistency.

Synchronize data from an SQL Server database

The following table describes the data type mappings between a source SQL Server database and a heterogeneous destination database. The source database can be a self-managed SQL Server database or an ApsaraDB RDS for SQL Server instance.
