Is there a setting to include data types of attributes for the ingested source json data? I receive the data as “colName”:”value” but there is no data type info with it. My source is Zuora and destination is Snowflake. Thanks.

Hey @Murat Cetink,
Thanks for the issue! What versions are you using for Airbyte and for the Zuora and Snowflake connectors?

Hi @Saj Dider (Airbyte) . Airbyte : 0.40.14 , Zuora: 0.1.3, Snowflake: 0.4.38

Thanks. What streams were you using for your sync?
m
ACCOUNT, PRODUCT, RATEPLAN, SUBSCRIPTION
all are on incremental append sync mode

Thanks, I'll try replicating the issue and report back with more questions or findings

Sorry for the delay with this @Murat Cetink, our Zuora account has been locked out and I’ve been unable to test the connection up until this point. Out of curiosity, while we wait, were you able to resolve this issue?

Hi @Sajarin Dider . No, I’m still getting the date columns as String.
And I don’t see the data types in the loaded raw json.

Hello Murat, Zuora uses dynamic schema to build the streams data types. Probably this limit the option to retrieve fields as datetimes. Something I saw in Zuora code is: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/b7816f4f585ce4b2ab20aaddca22ef5bb9f9d114[…]yte-integrations/connectors/source-zuora/source_zuora/source.py which shows that Zuora returns datetime values in a different format than ISO. If you want you can customize the connector to read fields as datetime: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/b7816f4f585ce4b2ab20aaddca22ef5bb9f9d114[…]yte-integrations/connectors/source-zuora/source_zuora/source.py
