Max match data quality checks, SQL examples

A column-level check that ensures that compares the maximum value in the tested column to maximum value in a reference column from the reference table. Compares the maximum values for each group of data. The data is grouped using a GROUP BY clause and groups are matched between the tested (parent) table and the reference table (the source of truth).


The max match data quality check has the following variants for each type of data quality checks supported by DQOps.

profile max match

Check description

Verifies that percentage of the difference between the maximum value in a tested column in a parent table and the maximum value in a column in the reference table. The difference must be below defined percentage thresholds.

Command-line examples

Please expand the section below to see the DQOps command-line examples to run or activate the profile max match data quality check.

Managing profile max match check from DQOps shell

Activate this data quality using the check activate CLI command, providing the connection name, table name, check name, and all other filters. Activates the warning rule with the default parameters.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_name.table_name -col=column_name -ch=profile_max_match --enable-warning

You can also use patterns to activate the check on all matching tables and columns.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=profile_max_match --enable-warning

Additional rule parameters are passed using the -Wrule_parameter_name=value.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=profile_max_match --enable-warning
                    -Wmax_diff_percent=value

Activate this data quality using the check activate CLI command, providing the connection name, table name, check name, and all other filters. Activates the error rule with the default parameters.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_name.table_name -col=column_name -ch=profile_max_match --enable-error

You can also use patterns to activate the check on all matching tables and columns.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=profile_max_match --enable-error

Additional rule parameters are passed using the -Erule_parameter_name=value.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=profile_max_match --enable-error
                    -Emax_diff_percent=value

Run this data quality check using the check run CLI command by providing the check name and all other targeting filters. The following example shows how to run the profile_max_match check on all tables and columns on a single data source.

dqo> check run -c=data_source_name -ch=profile_max_match

It is also possible to run this check on a specific connection and table. In order to do this, use the connection name and the full table name parameters.

dqo> check run -c=connection_name -t=schema_name.table_name -ch=profile_max_match

You can also run this check on all tables (and columns) on which the profile_max_match check is enabled using patterns to find tables.

dqo> check run -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name_* -ch=profile_max_match

monthly max match

Check description

Verifies that percentage of the difference between the maximum value in a tested column in a parent table and the maximum value in a column in the reference table. The difference must be below defined percentage thresholds. Stores the most recent captured value for each month when the data quality check was evaluated.

Data quality check name Friendly name Category Check type Time scale Quality dimension Sensor definition Quality rule Standard
monthly_max_match Maximum percentage of difference between maximum values of compared columns comparisons monitoring monthly Accuracy max_value diff_percent

Command-line examples

Please expand the section below to see the DQOps command-line examples to run or activate the monthly max match data quality check.

Managing monthly max match check from DQOps shell

Activate this data quality using the check activate CLI command, providing the connection name, table name, check name, and all other filters. Activates the warning rule with the default parameters.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_name.table_name -col=column_name -ch=monthly_max_match --enable-warning

You can also use patterns to activate the check on all matching tables and columns.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=monthly_max_match --enable-warning

Additional rule parameters are passed using the -Wrule_parameter_name=value.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=monthly_max_match --enable-warning
                    -Wmax_diff_percent=value

Activate this data quality using the check activate CLI command, providing the connection name, table name, check name, and all other filters. Activates the error rule with the default parameters.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_name.table_name -col=column_name -ch=monthly_max_match --enable-error

You can also use patterns to activate the check on all matching tables and columns.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=monthly_max_match --enable-error

Additional rule parameters are passed using the -Erule_parameter_name=value.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=monthly_max_match --enable-error
                    -Emax_diff_percent=value

Run this data quality check using the check run CLI command by providing the check name and all other targeting filters. The following example shows how to run the monthly_max_match check on all tables and columns on a single data source.

dqo> check run -c=data_source_name -ch=monthly_max_match

It is also possible to run this check on a specific connection and table. In order to do this, use the connection name and the full table name parameters.

dqo> check run -c=connection_name -t=schema_name.table_name -ch=monthly_max_match

You can also run this check on all tables (and columns) on which the monthly_max_match check is enabled using patterns to find tables.

dqo> check run -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name_* -ch=monthly_max_match

daily partition max match

Check description

Verifies that percentage of the difference between the maximum value in a tested column in a parent table and the maximum value in a column in the reference table. The difference must be below defined percentage thresholds. Compares each daily partition (each day of data) between the compared table and the reference table (the source of truth).

Data quality check name Friendly name Category Check type Time scale Quality dimension Sensor definition Quality rule Standard
daily_partition_max_match Maximum percentage of difference between maximum values of compared columns comparisons partitioned daily Accuracy max_value diff_percent

Command-line examples

Please expand the section below to see the DQOps command-line examples to run or activate the daily partition max match data quality check.

Managing daily partition max match check from DQOps shell

Activate this data quality using the check activate CLI command, providing the connection name, table name, check name, and all other filters. Activates the warning rule with the default parameters.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_name.table_name -col=column_name -ch=daily_partition_max_match --enable-warning

You can also use patterns to activate the check on all matching tables and columns.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=daily_partition_max_match --enable-warning

Additional rule parameters are passed using the -Wrule_parameter_name=value.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=daily_partition_max_match --enable-warning
                    -Wmax_diff_percent=value

Activate this data quality using the check activate CLI command, providing the connection name, table name, check name, and all other filters. Activates the error rule with the default parameters.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_name.table_name -col=column_name -ch=daily_partition_max_match --enable-error

You can also use patterns to activate the check on all matching tables and columns.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=daily_partition_max_match --enable-error

Additional rule parameters are passed using the -Erule_parameter_name=value.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=daily_partition_max_match --enable-error
                    -Emax_diff_percent=value

Run this data quality check using the check run CLI command by providing the check name and all other targeting filters. The following example shows how to run the daily_partition_max_match check on all tables and columns on a single data source.

dqo> check run -c=data_source_name -ch=daily_partition_max_match

It is also possible to run this check on a specific connection and table. In order to do this, use the connection name and the full table name parameters.

dqo> check run -c=connection_name -t=schema_name.table_name -ch=daily_partition_max_match

You can also run this check on all tables (and columns) on which the daily_partition_max_match check is enabled using patterns to find tables.

dqo> check run -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name_* -ch=daily_partition_max_match

monthly partition max match

Check description

Verifies that percentage of the difference between the maximum value in a tested column in a parent table and the maximum value in a column in the reference table. The difference must be below defined percentage thresholds. Compares each monthly partition (each month of data) between the compared table and the reference table (the source of truth).

Data quality check name Friendly name Category Check type Time scale Quality dimension Sensor definition Quality rule Standard
monthly_partition_max_match Maximum percentage of difference between maximum values of compared columns comparisons partitioned monthly Accuracy max_value diff_percent

Command-line examples

Please expand the section below to see the DQOps command-line examples to run or activate the monthly partition max match data quality check.

Managing monthly partition max match check from DQOps shell

Activate this data quality using the check activate CLI command, providing the connection name, table name, check name, and all other filters. Activates the warning rule with the default parameters.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_name.table_name -col=column_name -ch=monthly_partition_max_match --enable-warning

You can also use patterns to activate the check on all matching tables and columns.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=monthly_partition_max_match --enable-warning

Additional rule parameters are passed using the -Wrule_parameter_name=value.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=monthly_partition_max_match --enable-warning
                    -Wmax_diff_percent=value

Activate this data quality using the check activate CLI command, providing the connection name, table name, check name, and all other filters. Activates the error rule with the default parameters.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_name.table_name -col=column_name -ch=monthly_partition_max_match --enable-error

You can also use patterns to activate the check on all matching tables and columns.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=monthly_partition_max_match --enable-error

Additional rule parameters are passed using the -Erule_parameter_name=value.

dqo> check activate -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name -ch=monthly_partition_max_match --enable-error
                    -Emax_diff_percent=value

Run this data quality check using the check run CLI command by providing the check name and all other targeting filters. The following example shows how to run the monthly_partition_max_match check on all tables and columns on a single data source.

dqo> check run -c=data_source_name -ch=monthly_partition_max_match

It is also possible to run this check on a specific connection and table. In order to do this, use the connection name and the full table name parameters.

dqo> check run -c=connection_name -t=schema_name.table_name -ch=monthly_partition_max_match

You can also run this check on all tables (and columns) on which the monthly_partition_max_match check is enabled using patterns to find tables.

dqo> check run -c=connection_name -t=schema_prefix*.fact_* -col=column_name_* -ch=monthly_partition_max_match
