Hi there, I was not sure where this should go as it’s not directly an issue. I wondered why airbyte maps date / datetype / nurmerics to strings. Is the expectation then to remap it to another format via dbt to similar?

hey @Giles Horwitch-Smith we try our best today to keep types information from source to destination and if we fail, we default to string. The expectation is then to use dbt or views to properly coerce and cast the types

Thanks @Michel appreciate the response.

We have on our milestones to do something more advanced for type mgmt though
