# Data Types
A data type describes the logical values a table field can hold. Use these
types when defining a
-[schema](./spec/schema). The compute engine's SQL syntax and supported
mappings can differ from
+[schema](./spec/schema.md). The compute engine's SQL syntax and supported
mappings can differ from
Paimon's type model.
-This reference describes logical types. See [File Format](./spec/fileformat)
for their physical
-representation in each storage format, and [Flink DDL](../flink/sql-ddl) or
-[Spark DDL](../spark/sql-ddl) for engine-specific table definitions.

for storing any semi-structured data, including ARRAY, MAP, and scalar types.

BOOLEAN, TINYINT, SMALLINT, INT, BIGINT, FLOAT, DOUBLE. n must have a value
