Preface v

C H A P T E R 1

OverviewThis chapter includes the following topic:

¨ Mapping Reference Overview, 1

Mapping Reference OverviewThe Data Replication Datatype Mapping Reference describes recommended datatype mappings for all combinationsof supported sources and targets.

Data Replication uses these datatype mappings to generate a target schema based on a source schema and toreplicate CREATE TABLE and ADD COLUMN DDL changes. Data Replication defines the datatype mappings in theDataReplication_installation\uiconf\DataTypes.xml file.

If you create target tables manually, Informatica recommends that you use the target datatypes that are documentedin this reference for your source datatypes to perform accurate change data replication.

If a source datatype is not listed, Data Replication either cannot extract data from the source columns with thisdatatype or cannot apply the extracted data to any appropriate target datatype.

Notes:

¨ Because the maximum row size for Netezza is 65535 bytes, the Data Replication does not support replication ofDB2 LONG VARCHAR and LONG VARGRAPHIC datatypes to Netezza targets.

Workaround: If the source LONG VARCHAR and LONG VARGRAPHIC values are small, and the row size in theaudit log table that includes the corresponding before image and after image columns does not exceed themaximum Netezza row size, you can manually generate the target schema. Create a SQL script for generating thetarget schema based on the source schema from the Data Replication Console. In the script, edit the size of theVARCHAR and NVARCHAR columns that correspond to the source LONG VARCHAR and LONG VARGRAPHICcolumns. Then execute the edited script to generate the target schema.

¨ Because Netezza does not use binary dataypes, Data Replication does not support replication of DB2 BLOBdatatype to Netezza targets.

Because Netezza does not use binary dataypes, Data Replication does not support replication of Sybase ASE binaryand varbinary datatypes to Netezza targets.
