string surrounded by whitespace count

string surrounded by whitespace count checks

Description
Column level check that ensures that there are no more than a maximum number of surrounded by whitespace strings in a monitored column.


profile string surrounded by whitespace count

Check description
Verifies that the number of strings surrounded by whitespace in a column does not exceed the maximum accepted count.

Check name Check type Time scale Sensor definition Quality rule
profile_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count profiling string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count max_count

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_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
Run check (Shell)
To run this check provide check name in check run command
dqo> check run -ch=profile_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count

daily string surrounded by whitespace count

Check description
Verifies that the number of strings surrounded by whitespace in a column does not exceed the maximum accepted count. Stores the most recent captured value for each day when the data quality check was evaluated.

Check name Check type Time scale Sensor definition Quality rule
daily_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count recurring daily string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count max_count

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

dqo> check enable -c=connection_name -ch=daily_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
Run check (Shell)
To run this check provide check name in check run command
dqo> check run -ch=daily_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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=daily_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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=daily_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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=daily_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count

monthly string surrounded by whitespace count

Check description
Verifies that the number of strings surrounded by whitespace in a column does not exceed the maximum accepted count. Stores the most recent row count for each month when the data quality check was evaluated.

Check name Check type Time scale Sensor definition Quality rule
monthly_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count recurring monthly string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count max_count

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

dqo> check enable -c=connection_name -ch=monthly_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
Run check (Shell)
To run this check provide check name in check run command
dqo> check run -ch=monthly_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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=monthly_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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=monthly_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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=monthly_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count

daily partition string surrounded by whitespace count

Check description
Verifies that the number of strings surrounded by whitespace in a column does not exceed the maximum accepted count. Creates a separate data quality check (and an alert) for each daily partition.

Check name Check type Time scale Sensor definition Quality rule
daily_partition_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count partitioned daily string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count max_count

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

dqo> check enable -c=connection_name -ch=daily_partition_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
Run check (Shell)
To run this check provide check name in check run command
dqo> check run -ch=daily_partition_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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=daily_partition_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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=daily_partition_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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=daily_partition_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count

monthly partition string surrounded by whitespace count

Check description
Verifies that the number of strings surrounded by whitespace in a column does not exceed the maximum accepted count. Creates a separate data quality check (and an alert) for each monthly partition.

Check name Check type Time scale Sensor definition Quality rule
monthly_partition_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count partitioned monthly string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count max_count

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

dqo> check enable -c=connection_name -ch=monthly_partition_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
Run check (Shell)
To run this check provide check name in check run command
dqo> check run -ch=monthly_partition_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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=monthly_partition_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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=monthly_partition_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
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=monthly_partition_string_surrounded_by_whitespace_count
