Note 1
Not fully automated.
Note 2
The type is selected based on the output types. You can cast fields to get any types supported by the output format.
Note 3
You cannot choose the destination data type as it is fetched from the original database.
Note 4
Supported by definition. If a Primary Key (PK) is configured in the database, we will only have the latest record per PK.
Note 5
Only aggregations by key are supported for lookup tables.
