On top of the validation toolset, the package gives you the means to provide and keep up-to-date with the information that defines your tables. For table validation , the agent object works with a large collection of simple (yet powerful!) validation functions. We can enable much more sophisticated validation checks by using custom expressions, segmenting the data, and by selective mutations of the target table. The suite of validation functions ensures that everything just works no matter whether your table is a data frame or a database table. Sometimes, we want to maintain table information and update it when the table goes through changes. For that, we can use an informant object plus associated functions to help define the metadata entries and present it as a data dictionary. Just like we can with validation, pointblank offers easy ways to have the metadata updated so that this important documentation doesn't become stale. TABLE VALIDATIONS WITH AN AGENT AND DATA QUALITY REPORTING Data validation can be carried out in Data Quality Reporting workflow, ultimately resulting in the production of a data quality analysis report. This is most useful in a non-interactive mode where data quality for database tables and on-disk data files must be periodically checked. The pointblank agent is given a collection of validation functions to define va","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/rstudio","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/rstudio/pointblank/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
