Why you want to manually give it?
You can import metadata through Orchestrate Schema definition utility of datastage and load the same metadata at oracle stage.

No you don't have to take from .dsx file.
When you go on Import Table definition menu there you will find Orchestrate Schema definition utility
use this to import definition and store it in repository.
Then at oracle stage Load this metadata from repository when you are in column tab of oracle stage.

Some will tell you the OSH route is 'more accurate' but I don't see how an OSH schema will help you in a Server job, for that importing via the Plug-in Metadata option with OCI is fine. If you like, compare the two and see what (if any) difference there is.

And yes, Varchar covers string fields, including VARCHAR2.
