Mean match data quality checks, SQL examples

A column-level check that ensures that compares the mean (average) of the values in the tested column to the mean (average) of values in a reference column from the reference table. Compares the mean (average) value 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 mean match data quality check has the following variants for each type of data quality checks supported by DQOps.

profile mean match

Check description

Verifies that percentage of the difference between the mean (average) value in a tested column in a parent table and the mean (average) 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 mean match data quality check.

Managing profile mean match check from DQOps shell

Activate the check with a warning ruleActivate the check with an error ruleRun all configured checks

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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_match check on all tables and columns on a single data source.

dqo> check run -c=data_source_name -ch=profile_mean_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_mean_match

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

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

monthly mean match

Check description

Verifies that percentage of the difference between the mean (average) value in a tested column in a parent table and the mean (average) 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_mean_match	Maximum percentage of difference between mean (average) values of compared columns	comparisons	monitoring	monthly	Accuracy	mean	diff_percent

Command-line examples

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

Managing monthly mean match check from DQOps shell

Activate the check with a warning ruleActivate the check with an error ruleRun all configured checks

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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_match check on all tables and columns on a single data source.

dqo> check run -c=data_source_name -ch=monthly_mean_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_mean_match

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

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

daily partition mean match

Check description

Verifies that percentage of the difference between the mean (average) value in a tested column in a parent table and the mean (average) 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_mean_match	Maximum percentage of difference between mean (average) values of compared columns	comparisons	partitioned	daily	Accuracy	mean	diff_percent

Command-line examples

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

Managing daily partition mean match check from DQOps shell

Activate the check with a warning ruleActivate the check with an error ruleRun all configured checks

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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_match check on all tables and columns on a single data source.

dqo> check run -c=data_source_name -ch=daily_partition_mean_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_mean_match

You can also run this check on all tables (and columns) on which the daily_partition_mean_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_mean_match

monthly partition mean match

Check description

Verifies that percentage of the difference between the mean (average) value in a tested column in a parent table and the mean (average) 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_mean_match	Maximum percentage of difference between mean (average) values of compared columns	comparisons	partitioned	monthly	Accuracy	mean	diff_percent

Command-line examples

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

Managing monthly partition mean match check from DQOps shell

Activate the check with a warning ruleActivate the check with an error ruleRun all configured checks

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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_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_mean_match check on all tables and columns on a single data source.

dqo> check run -c=data_source_name -ch=monthly_partition_mean_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_mean_match

You can also run this check on all tables (and columns) on which the monthly_partition_mean_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_mean_match
