Cloud data warehouse data types supported in ArcGIS

ArcGIS works with specific data types. When you access a table in a cloud data warehouse through a database connection, query layer, or web service, ArcGIS filters out any unsupported data types and does not display them.

The following tables list the cloud data warehouse data types that map to an ArcGIS data type. If an ArcGIS data type is not listed, that data type is not supported for the cloud data warehouse.
