Liquibase - list of available generic datatypes
According to Liquibase Column tag documentation:
To help make scripts database-independent, the following “generic” data types will be converted to the correct database implementation:
BOOLEAN CURRENCY UUID CLOB BLOB DATE DATETIME TIME BIGINT
Also, specifying a java.sql.Types.* type will be converted to the correct type as well. If needed, precision can be included. Here are some examples:
java.sql.Types.TIMESTAMP java.sql.Types.VARCHAR(255)
These are the values in java.sql.Types
:
public static final int BIT = -7;
public static final int TINYINT = -6;
public static final int SMALLINT = 5;
public static final int INTEGER = 4;
public static final int BIGINT = -5;
public static final int FLOAT = 6;
public static final int REAL = 7;
public static final int DOUBLE = 8;
public static final int NUMERIC = 2;
public static final int DECIMAL = 3;
public static final int CHAR = 1;
public static final int VARCHAR = 12;
public static final int LONGVARCHAR = -1;
public static final int DATE = 91;
public static final int TIME = 92;
public static final int TIMESTAMP = 93;
public static final int BINARY = -2;
public static final int VARBINARY = -3;
public static final int LONGVARBINARY = -4;
public static final int NULL = 0;
public static final int OTHER = 1111;
public static final int JAVA_OBJECT = 2000;
public static final int DISTINCT = 2001;
public static final int STRUCT = 2002;
public static final int ARRAY = 2003;
public static final int BLOB = 2004;
public static final int CLOB = 2005;
public static final int REF = 2006;
public static final int DATALINK = 70;
public static final int BOOLEAN = 16;
public static final int ROWID = -8;
public static final int NCHAR = -15;
public static final int NVARCHAR = -9;
public static final int LONGNVARCHAR = -16;
public static final int NCLOB = 2011;

public static final int REF_CURSOR = 2012;
public static final int TIME_WITH_TIMEZONE = 2013;
public static final int TIMESTAMP_WITH_TIMEZONE = 2014;
