Teradata to TDV Data Types

The following table shows the mapping from Teradata data types to TDV data types.

Teradata data types have these characteristics:

•

FLOAT and REAL data types are synonymous with DOUBLE PRECISION.

•

For Teradata version 15, the maximum length for BINARY and VARBINARY is 64000; for CHAR and VARCHAR it is 32000; for BLOB it is 2097088000; for CLOB it is 1048544000; and for JSON it is 8388096.

•

For all supported versions of Teradata except version 15, the maximum length for BINARY, CHAR, VARBINARY, and VARCHAR is 32000; and the JSON data type is not supported.

•

IN operator with subquery cannot be pushed down,

•

The native data types BLOB, CLOB, JSON, and XML are not supported in DISTINCT, EXCEPT, GROUP BY, HAVING, INTERSECT, JOIN ON, ORDER BY or UNION clauses,
