Hello,

I was pulling data from one datasource [ oracle ] earlier which had a couple
of fields as integer. Now i am moving to a newer data source and the same
fields are now varchar's in the newer oracle database.

I am planning to change the data types of those fields from integer to
varchar's as am not doing any arithmetic with those fields. Does anyone see
any issues with this approach ? Will this break any of the existing
functionality when i move from INT to varchar's ?

it will require more space
sorting will change
