Xata builds on top of Postgres and thus supports the [default data types](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype.html) inherit in that platform. Xata additionally adds to that list with unique types such as `xata_file` (file), `xata_file_array` (file[]) and `vector` to handle platform features like [file attachements](/docs/sdk/file-attachments) and [vector searching](/docs/sdk/vector-search). In addition, there are some added types to simplify validation of common types like `email` (deprecated) and `text[]` (`multiple`). Usage of these types is ultimately optional if you wish to use Xata only as a Postgres host. If you do decide to utilize them (which is the default way Xata operates through our UI), it is required that you interact with these types through the Xata SDKs.
