Connect CDC has two character categories: Character and Long Character. Most of the currently supported DBMS character datatypes are classified as Character. Datatypes designed for large character objects belong to the Long Character category.
You can convert Character or Long Character datatypes only to datatypes in the Character or Long Character categories, as shown in the table below.
Note: In all of the conversions that have a character target type, Connect CDC truncates source column data (from the right) to fit the defined target column length. Values too long for Long Character targets cause an error
