column count

column count checks

Description
Table level check that retrieves the metadata of the monitored table from the data source, counts the number of columns and compares it to an expected number of columns.


profile column count

Check description
Detects if the number of column matches an expected number. Retrieves the metadata of the monitored table, counts the number of columns and compares it to an expected value (an expected number of columns).

Check name Check type Time scale Sensor definition Quality rule
profile_column_count profiling column_count 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_count
Run check (Shell)
To run this check provide check name in check run command
dqo> check run -ch=profile_column_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_column_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_column_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_column_count

daily column count

Check description
Detects if the number of column matches an expected number. Retrieves the metadata of the monitored table, counts the number of columns and compares it to an expected value (an expected number of columns). Stores the most recent column count for each day when the data quality check was evaluated.
