Supported Data Types

The following table describes the current mapping between BigQuery data types and Salesforce.

BigQuery	Corresponding Salesforce type
NUMERIC	NUMBER_TYPE if the precision is < 18, otherwise STRING_SHORT_TYPE
INT64	NUMBER_TYPE
FLOAT64	STRING_SHORT_TYPE, length 21
BINARY	Not supported
BOOLEAN	NUMBER_TYPE (not BOOLEAN_TYPE, because NULL values wouldn't be supported)
DATE	Dates are not supported by Salesforce Connect, but the adapter converts to DATETIME_TYPE (at midnight) for convenience. This makes them usable but potentially misleading.
TIMESTAMP	DATETIME_TYPE
TIME	STRING_SHORT_TYPE
STRING	STRING_SHORT_TYPE if the max length is <255, otherwise STRING_LONG_TYPE
