Hologres:Data types

Last Updated:Oct 17, 2024

The data types of Hologres are compatible with those of PostgreSQL. This topic describes the data types and array types that are supported by Hologres.

Data types

The data types of Hologres are a subset of the data types of PostgreSQL. The following table describes the data types that are supported by Hologres.

Data type

Supported version

Length

Description

Value range

Example

INTEGER (INT or INT4)

All Hologres versions

4 bytes

Common integers.

-2147483648 to 2147483647.

2147483647

BIGINT (INT8)

All Hologres versions

8 bytes

Integers in a large range.

-9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807.

9223372036854775807

BOOLEAN (BOOL)

All Hologres versions

1 byte

The Boolean data type.

  • True.

  • False.

True.

REAL (FLOAT4)

All Hologres versions

4 bytes

The data has variable precision. The result is imprecise.

Note

In PostgreSQL, if you do not specify a precision for FLOAT, the DOUBLE PRECISION (FLOAT8) data type is used by default.

A number that has up to six decimal digits of precision.

123.123

DOUBLE PRECISION (FLOAT8)

All Hologres versions

8 bytes

The data has variable precision. The result is imprecise.

A number that has up to 15 decimal digits of precision.

123.123456789123

TEXT

All Hologres versions

Variable length

A character string with a variable length. Compared with the VARCHAR(n) and CHAR(n) data types, the TEXT data type is more flexible. We recommend that you use the TEXT data type instead of the VARCHAR(n) and CHAR(n) data types.

TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE (TIMESTAMPTZ)

All Hologres versions

8 bytes

Note

Standard PostgreSQL uses a plus sign (+) or a minus sign (-) and a time zone offset in a value of the TIMESTAMPTZ data type to identify the time zone. If no time zone offset is specified, the system automatically adds a default time zone to the data.

    int8_array int8[],
    float4_array float4[],
    float8_array float8[],
    boolean_array boolean[],

    • Use the ARRAY keyword.

      INSERT INTO array_example(
      int4_array,
      int8_array,
      float4_array,
      float8_array,
      boolean_array,
      text_array)
      VALUES (ARRAY[1, 2, 3, 4],
      ARRAY[1, 2, 3, 4],
      ARRAY[1.0, 2.0],
      ARRAY[1.0, 2.0, 3.0],
      ARRAY[true, true, false],
      ARRAY['foo1', 'foo2', 'foo3']);
    • Use the {} expression.

      INSERT INTO array_example(
      int4_array,
      int8_array,
      float4_array,
      float8_array,
      boolean_array,
      text_array)
      VALUES ('{1, 2, 3, 4}',
      '{1, 2, 3, 4}',
      '{1.0, 2.0}',
      '{1.0, 2.0, 3.0}',
      '{true, true, false}',
      '{"foo1", "foo2", "foo3"}');
  • Query data from an array.

    • Query an element in an array.

      SELECT int4_array[3] FROM array_example;
    • Query multiple elements in an array.

      SELECT int4_array[1:2] FROM array_example;

DATETIME

TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE

All Hologres versions.

The DATETIME data type of MaxCompute specifies a date time in UTC+8. The time ranges from 0000-01-01 to 9999-12-31, and is accurate to the millisecond.

DECIMAL

NUMERIC

All Hologres versions.

If no precision or scale is specified for the DECIMAL data type in MaxCompute, DECIMAL (38,18) is used by default. The precision and the scale are automatically converted when you create a foreign table by executing the IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA statement. For more information about the statement, see IMPORT FOREIGN SCHEMA.

TIMESTAMP

TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE

Hologres V0.8 and later.

  • Valid values of the TIMESTAMP data type of MaxCompute are 0000-01-01 00:00:00.000000000 to 9999-12-31 23:59:59.999999999. The timestamp is accurate to the nanosecond.

  • Data of the TIMESTAMPTZ data type of Hologres is accurate to the millisecond.

    Hologres automatically converts the precision to the millisecond when Hologres reads data.

CHAR(n)

By default, CHAR(n) is used.

Hologres also allows you to map CHAR(n) in MaxCompute to TEXT. To map to TEXT, you must add the set hg_enable_convert_type_for_foreign_table = true configuration, and set the data type to TEXT when you create a foreign table.

Hologres V0.8 and later.

Entries of the CHAR(n) data type in MaxCompute are character strings with a fixed length of n characters. The maximum value of n is 255. If you insert a character string that is shorter than the required length, Hologres adds spaces to the character string to increase the length.

VARCHAR(n)

By default, VARCHAR(n) is used.

Hologres also allows you to map VARCHAR(n) in MaxCompute to TEXT. To map to TEXT, you must add the set hg_enable_convert_type_for_foreign_table = true configuration, and set the data type to TEXT when you create a foreign table.

Hologres V0.8 and later.

Entries of the VARCHAR(n) data type in MaxCompute are character strings with a variable length of n characters. Valid values of n: 1 to 65535.

DATE

DATE

Hologres V0.8 and later.

None.

SMALLINT

By default, INT2 is used.

Hologres also allows you to map SMALLINT in MaxCompute to INT8. To map to INT8, you must add the set hg_enable_convert_type_for_foreign_table = true configuration, and set the data type to INT8 when you create a foreign table.

All Hologres versions, in which the data type for Hologres V0.8 is INT4 and the data type for Hologres V0.9 is INT2.

None.

TINYINT

By default, INT2 is used.

Hologres also allows you to map TINYINT in MaxCompute to INT8. To map to INT8, you must add the set hg_enable_convert_type_for_foreign_table = true configuration, and set the data type to INT8 when you create a foreign table.

When you execute the CREATE TABLE AS statement to synchronize data from Realtime Compute for Apache Flink to Hologres, take note of the following items:

  • If a column of the DECIMAL data type is a primary key, the data type of the primary key is converted into TEXT.

  • If a column of the DECIMAL data type is a non-primary key, the data type of the non-primary key is converted into DECIMAL.

For more information, see Why does the data type of the primary key in a MySQL table change from BIGINT UNSIGNED to DECIMAL when I create a catalog in the console of Realtime Compute for Apache Flink? Why does the data type of the primary key change to TEXT after I execute the CREATE TABLE AS statement to synchronize data to Hologres?
