I'm using Kafka to take data from SQL Server and insert into Postgres - the issue is with billinglatitude [nvarchar] to billinglatitude [double precision].
I've tried to use Cast$Value to turn SQL Server '26.116184' to float64, but the column still comes across as a string. I can correctly cast SQL Server booleans [0, 1] to postgres [false, true].. how can I accomplish this for string -> double precision??
Attempt to Solve
I've tried to use billinglatitude:float64 and billinglatitude:float32, but the value still comes across as a string:
The Cast$Value documentation shows you can work with primitive types - string is a primitive type, so how can I take the string and cast it to a float??
