Data Compare for Oracle – BINARY_DOUBLE Type Support

Data Compare for Oracle – BINARY_DOUBLE Type Support

When using dbForge Data Compare for Oracle, it's important to understand limitations related to specific Oracle data types, especially when operating in Direct mode. Some Oracle data types are not fully supported in this mode, including:
  1. BINARY_DOUBLE
  2. BINARY_FLOAT
  3. XMLTYPE
These limitations are outlined in the Type Compatibility Table section of our documentation.

Idea
✅ Recommended Solution

If you encounter issues when comparing data types such as BINARY_DOUBLE, especially while using Direct mode, we recommend the following:

Switch the connection from Direct mode to Client mode and rerun the comparison. This adjustment ensures complete compatibility and support for the affected Oracle data types.

Additionally, when working with Oracle Developer Tools or integrating schema-level configurations, consider enabling the useoraclesqlcompatibility setting (if available in your environment or custom configurations). This helps align behavior with Oracle SQL standards and may enhance compatibility across tools.

This best practice ensures optimal performance and reliability when using dbForge Data Compare for Oracle with complex data types.
