Can we try adding new transforms to the connector file: https://github.com/Ed-Fi-Alliance-OSS/Data-Management-Service/blob/main/eng/docker-compose/postgresql_connector.json. I noticed that there is already an existing transform for type casting. Here’s the documentation for reference: Confluent Cast Transform. I guess we can apply this to specific topic/ table using the predicate.

I was a little worried when I saw this comment: the Confluence source code is not open sourced and we try to avoid it. However, the transform is actually part of the core Kafka source code under the Apache license: Cast.java. All is well then! We're in good shape. This is just a good reminder that we want to avoid any transform that has confluent in the class namespace.
