Oh, just another nonstandard datatype name then. You could use CREATE
DOMAIN to create NUMBER as an alias for integer (or bigint or numeric,
depending on what range of values you're expecting).
varchar2 is harder since we don't have any provision for precision
options on domains. You'll pretty much have to search-and-replace
that to varchar in your schema file :-(
