Database Data Types

This document summarizes how OutSystems data types are mapped to data types in SQL Server/SQL Azure and Oracle databases. The main OutSystems data types like text, integer, decimal, boolean, date, and time map to equivalent data types in the databases. Some data types like binary data and currency are more specific in the database mappings. Entity identifiers are dependent on the type of identifier used.
