# Supported data types

> Page describing MySQL ClickPipe datatype mapping from MySQL to ClickHouse

Here is the supported data-type mapping for the MySQL ClickPipe:

| MySQL Type                           | ClickHouse type        | Notes                                                                                   |

| JSON                                 | String                 | MySQL only; MariaDB `json` is just an alias for `text` with a constraint.               |
| Geometry & Geometry Types            | String                 | WKT (Well-Known Text). WKT may suffer from small precision loss.                        |

| Date                                 | Date32                 | 00 day/month mapped to 01.                                                              |
| Time                                 | DateTime64(6)          | Time offset from unix epoch.                                                            |
| Datetime, Timestamp                  | DateTime64(6)          | 00 day/month mapped to 01.                                                              |
