Hi @Vishnu K, The JDBC connectors, such as MSSQL, are converting types to JSON schema types, and all numbers are converted to a float type on destination. I understand that it's not ideal and I opened an issue for this (feel free to subscribe to receive updates). This should be handled pretty soon as our quarter priority is to improve database connectors. About the timestamp, they are indeed stored as string in the
raw
