Automatic data transformations

Databricks transforms Salesforce data types to Delta-compatible data types as follows:

Salesforce Type	Delta Type
Auto Number	String
Checkbox	Boolean
Currency	DecimalType(18,2)
Date	DateType
Time	String
DateTime	Timestamp
Email	String
ID	String
Lookup Relationship	String
Multi-Select Picklist	String (For a currency picklist with the values “USD” and “Euro,” the column would include the values “USD” and “Euro.” )
Number	Decimal
Percent	Double
Phone	String
Picklist	String
Text	String
Text Area	String
Text Area (Long)	String
Text Area (Rich)	String
Text (Encrypted)	String

* Site.DailyBandwidthUsed (Int)	Float
* Site.DailyRequestTimeUsed (Int)	Float

• The Salesforce API returns Site.DailyBandwidthUsed and Site.DailyRequestTimeUsed as float instead of int.
