Data types
Supported protobuf types
RisingWave supports a variety of protobuf data types, which are converted to equivalent types in RisingWave. This page provides an overview of the supported protobuf types and their corresponding RisingWave types.
Conversion
RisingWave converts well-known types from the protobuf library to specific types in RisingWave. The conversion is as follows:
Protobuf type | RisingWave type |
---|---|
any | JSONB |
double | double precision |
float | real |
int32 | int |
int64 | bigint |
uint32 | bigint |
uint64 | decimal |
sint32 | int |
sint64 | bigint |
fixed32 | bigint |
fixed64 | decimal |
sfixed32 | int |
sfixed64 | bigint |
bool | boolean |
string | varchar |
bytes | bytea |
enum | varchar |
message | struct. See details in Nested messages. |
repeated | array |
map | Not supported |
google.protobuf.Struct | Not supported |
google.protobuf.Timestamp | struct<seconds bigint, nanos int> |
google.protobuf.Duration | struct<seconds bigint, nanos int> |
google.protobuf.Any | struct<type_url varchar, value bytea> |
google.protobuf.Int32Value | struct<value int> |
google.protobuf.StringValue | struct<value varchar> |
Nested messages
The nested fields are transformed into columns within a struct type. For example, a Protobuf message with the following structure:
Will be converted to struct<id int, name varchar>
in RisingWave.
