Type Mapping

Type mapping allows users to customize default type conversion behavior. For every supported Oracle type there is a default mapping to a SQL Server type (for example, a table column of type NUMBER(38, 0) will be converted by SSMA as a column of type NUMERIC(38, 0)), but in some cases you may want to override this behavior and provide your own mapping.

Type mapping in SSMA can be specified individually for one object in the source database, all objects in a category (such as Procedures, Functions etc.) or schema, or even all objects in the database.

There are four categories of data type usage: table columns, local variables, arguments, and return values. Not every category of data type usage is applicable for every object in the database. Functions may have arguments, local variables and return values, but table columns are not present in functions, for example.

Restore Defaults button restores the default type mapping settings. There can be General or International settings restored. International settings mean, that all string types are mapped to their nation equivalents.
