Datatype support

Replication Server supports all Adaptive Server datatypes.

User-defined datatypes are not supported. The timestamp, double precision, nchar, and nvarchar datatypes are indirectly supported by mapping them to other datatypes. Columns using the timestamp datatype are mapped to varbinary(8).

For more information about the supported datatypes, including how to format them, see “Datatypes.”

Replication Server supports a set of datatype definitions for non-Sybase data servers that lets you replicate column values of one datatype to a column of a different datatype in the replicate database. See the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1 for more information about heterogeneous datatype support (HDS).
