Hi all, I'm having an issue with PDI-CE-5.0.1-stable on Windows Server 2012. Complete newbie here, please be gentle.
I'm trying to load a table from one Postgres database to another with no changes or transformations in between. One of the columns is CIDR datatype, of the format 10.0.0.0/12 for example. Kettle seems to convert it to string/text/character varying automatically between reading it from the first db and writing it to the second. I tried using the Select Value step to convert it to an IP Address data type, but that doesn't work because the subnet mask is included. I didn't see any other data types that could work. I'd rather not convert the output to a string.
How do I do this? In general or in specific. :)
