## Limitations

The MongoDB CDC integration is available as a preview. The feature is stable
enough for broader use but may still have limitations, known issues, or
incomplete features. While suitable for many use cases, it is not yet
recommended for mission-critical workloads.


### Column Name Restrictions

Column or property names containing square brackets (`[]`) are not supported and
are replaced with `__openbrk__` and `__closebrk__` respectively. Likewise, column
names containing dots (`.`) are not supported and are replaced with (`__dot__`).

:::{warning}
This behavior may change in future releases.

### Unsupported Data Types

The following MongoDB data types are not supported in the CrateDB Cloud MongoDB
CDC integration:

- **Long Strings** exceeding 32,766 characters are replaced with a placeholder
value.
- **Binary data types** other than UUIDs, which are converted to `TEXT` and
**vectors**, which are converted to `ARRAY`s of numbers.
- The `Decimal128` data type is not supported and is converted to a string, as
CrateDB does not support a decimal data type.
