This section covers data type conversions between the Designer Cloud® application and MySQL databases.

NOTE: The Alteryx® data types listed in this page reflect the raw data type of the converted column. Depending on the contents of the column, the Transformer Page may re-infer a different data type, when a dataset using this type of source is loaded.
