Hello. When Airbyte fetch the schema of a bigquery table, it convert timestamp to string. Is this a bug or I miss something with the setup? Thanks. And happy new year 🍾

Hi Maxime! Thanks for your patience - I was out last week for the holidays and am catching up with messages now. As this is a GA connector, I doubt this is a bug. There's another place where a timestamp is converted into a string: https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/destinations/bigquery/#output-schema What is the trouble you're having with this?

Hi. Thanks for you answer. It has nothing to do with GA connector. It’s the BigQuery connector, as a source. But indeed, it’s specified here, dates are mapped as string : https://docs.airbyte.com/integrations/sources/bigquery#data-type-mapping. It’s not a bug, bug it’s weird
