 Type mapping
 ------------
 
-The data type mappings are as follows:

-The Phoenix fixed length ``BINARY`` data type is mapped to the Trino
-variable length ``VARBINARY`` data type. There is no way to create a
-Phoenix table in Trino that uses the ``BINARY`` data type, as Trino
-does not have an equivalent type.
+Because Trino and Phoenix each support types that the other does not, this
+connector modifies some types when reading or writing data. Data types may not
+map the same way in both directions between Trino and the data source. Refer to
+the following sections for type mapping in each direction.
