Description

We should be sure these types are working

  1. NUMERIC's , respecting multipleOf, max, min, etc
  2. BLOB, CLOB, NCLOB?
  3. Dates / Datetime (need to lookup postgres specefics)
  4. VARCHAR should follow size from json schema
  5. Folks should be able to override the type that's going to be set in target-postgres with the catalog. Something like sql-type whatever the current singer standard is should be allowed.
  6. Lookup Postgres types, map them here, some of these are guesses at type names from my brain

Research direction

No files or tests are named; start by locating target-postgres's type-mapping entry point and reviewing PostgreSQL type definitions alongside the Singer catalog's sql-type convention. Done means the listed numeric, binary, date, datetime, and VARCHAR cases are covered, and catalog overrides are supported.
