How to make a generic pipeline Oracle => SQL Server

Christophe

Hello,
I would like to build a generic pipeline to load data from an Oracle DB to a SQL Server DB.
I have more than 100 queries to load, so I would like to be able to call the pipeline with the Select (from Oracle) and the destination table as parameters.
I already did a pipeline which works well if I have only Varchar in the select.
If I put a timestamp in the select, I get the error “The conversion from UNKNOWN to UNKNOWN is unsupported.”
I there a way to do what I am tring to do ?
Thanks

Awesome. For the Timestamp issue, I found the answer in SQLServer Insert snap doc. It called out:
TIMESTAMP datatype in SQL Server is not supported. According to the Microsoft official document, "The timestamp syntax is deprecated.

Yes. So in SnapLogic we should have “if source field type = Timestamp then SQL Server field type = DateTime”
(but I can manage it)
Thanks.

Good idea! Replace the Timestamp in the ddl returned to DateTime on a mapper.
