Internal data types used by BIRT technology include Date, Double, Integer, Varchar, Time, and Timestamp. These data types map to the Java constants declared in Java.sql.Types, such as DATE, DOUBLE, INT, and STRING. BIRT maps the data types from supported data sources to these internal data types. To format values in a report, BIRT provides date-and-time, number, and string data types.
