How do 'Copy Data' activities actually convert data types?
Thanks for your reply, I had already been looking at this documentation, but can't find answers to any of the above questions.
As to the suggestion of having multiple steps in the pipeline, that could work but I'd like to try to understand how the copy data activity is doing its transformations. It is not ideal or efficient to read/write the same data multiple times. If I could, I would do all my data ingestion and transformation via notebook where my toolset is not as limited.
Hi IntegrateGuru,
#1, In fact, I also not found some related documents mention about these.
You can try to check on azure synapse document or contact to azure support to ask for some detail information if you can find this definition on fabric side. (fabric synapse features have reference with azure synapse features)
#2, current customize the field type does not include in this, you can try to submit an idea for add new features to improving current activity usages.
