## Supported Data Types

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

| Firebolt            | Corresponding Salesforce type                                                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| FLOAT, DOUBLE       | NUMBER\_TYPE if the precision is < 18, otherwise STRING\_SHORT\_TYPE                                                                                                                     |
| INT,LONG            | NUMBER\_TYPE                                                                                                                                                                             |
| BOOLEAN             | <p>NUMBER\_TYPE</p><p><em>(not BOOLEAN\_TYPE, because NULL values wouldn't be supported)</em></p>                                                                                        |
| DATE                | <p>Dates are not supported by Salesforce Connect, but the adapter converts to DATETIME\_TYPE (at midnight) for convenience.</p><p>This makes them usable but potentially misleading.</p> |
| DATETIME, TIMESTAMP | DATETIME\_TYPE                                                                                                                                                                           |
| VARCHAR, TEXT       | STRING\_SHORT\_TYPE, truncated automatically to 255 characters (Firebolt does not allow varchar length limiting)                                                                         |
