Supported data types from databases

Insights in ArcGIS Enterprise
Insights desktop
Note:

Database connections are supported in Insights in ArcGIS Enterprise and Insights desktop.

The following tables list data types for each supported database, and how each type maps to Esri field types. Field types listed as not supported will not appear in your database tables in Insights.

Google BigQuery data types

Note:

BigQuery only supports GEOGRAPHY data types using spatial reference 4326 (World Geodetic System 1984).
