Data Loader columns
You can add incremental keys from the source database and configure column properties. With the object drop-down you can change the view from the current object to different objects in the model.
The data types from the source database, visible in the available list, are converted into the relevant data loader data types. The following tables show the mapping from the source database data types to the data loader data types.
