Yes. If a column of this type in the source database contains characters that occupy more than one byte, increase the length of the column in the destination database.

VARCHAR

CHARACTER VARYING()

Yes. If a column of this type in the source database contains characters that occupy more than one byte, increase the length of the column in the destination database.

  • DATE values supported by MySQL range from '1000-01-01' to '9999-12-31'.

    DATETIME values supported by MySQL range from '1000-01-01 00:00:00' to '9999-12-31 23:59:59'.

    TIMESTAMP values supported by MySQL range from '1970-01-01 00:00:01' UTC to '2038-01-19 03:14:07' UTC.

    For details, see official MySQL documentation.

  • YEAR value ranges supported by MySQL are 1901 to 2155 and 0000. For details, see official MySQL documentation. GaussDB does not have the YEAR type, so DRS will convert the YEAR type of MySQL to the SMALLINT type.
  • For MySQL databases, '0000' of the DATE type will be converted to 0 by DRS.
  • If the data type of a column is INT and the column contains the AUTO_INCREMENT attribute, DRS converts the data type of the column to SERIAL during synchronization.
