Datatype Translation and Mapping

For each supported non-ASE data server, Replication Server provides class-level translations that define the default mapping from one datatype to another.

Translations are provided for:

Non-ASE datatypes that do not correspond directly to Adaptive Server datatypes
Adaptive Server datatypes that do not correspond directly to the non-ASE datatypes
Non-ASE datatypes that do not correspond directly to the datatypes of another supported non-ASE data server

Note: Class-level translations are not provided for any datatype that corresponds directly to a datatype in another data server.

Homogeneous Mapping
Replication Server supports datatype translation and mapping between data servers of the same type and version.
Heterogeneous Mapping
Replication Server supports datatype translation and mapping between data servers of a different type or version.
