column exists

column exists checks

Description
Column level check that reads the metadata of the monitored table and verifies that the column still exists in the data source. The data quality sensor returns 1.0 when the column was found or 0.0 when the column was not found.


profile column exists

Check description
Checks the metadata of the monitored table and verifies if the column exists.

Check name Check type Time scale Sensor definition Quality rule
profile_column_exists profiling column_exists equals_integer

Enable check (Shell)
To enable this check provide connection name and check name in check enable command

dqo> check enable -c=connection_name -ch=profile_column_exists
Run check (Shell)
To run this check provide check name in check run command
dqo> check run -ch=profile_column_exists
It is also possible to run this check on a specific connection. In order to do this, add the connection name to the below
dqo> check run -c=connection_name -ch=profile_column_exists
It is additionally feasible to run this check on a specific table. In order to do this, add the table name to the below
dqo> check run -c=connection_name -t=table_name -ch=profile_column_exists
It is furthermore viable to combine run this check on a specific column. In order to do this, add the column name to the below
dqo> check run -c=connection_name -t=table_name -col=column_name -ch=profile_column_exists
