Data profiling for Postgres

What is PostgresQL

Postgres is an open source relational database management system (RDBMS) developed by the PostgresQL Global Development Group. It is designed to be highly extensible and standards-compliant, and is used by many organizations and individuals to manage their data. Postgres is known for its robustness, reliability, and scalability, and is used in many different industries, from web applications to financial services. It supports a wide range of data types, including text, numbers, dates, and spatial data, and can be used to store and query large amounts of data. Postgres also offers powerful features such as triggers, stored procedures, and full-text search.

Benefits of setting up data profiling

Data profiling for Postgres provides many benefits, including high levels of accuracy, allowing users to quickly identify data discrepancies and ensuring that data is properly formatted and clean. It also makes finding and targeting specific information, like outliers and trends, easier and faster. Data profiling for Postgres provides users with a better understanding of their data, and allows for improved query optimization for better performance. Additionally, Data profiling for Postgres helps reduce data storage costs, and can help ensure data integrity and privacy.

Why should you have Data Profiling for Postgres

Data Profiling using Postgres and Secoda can be setup by first configuring Postgres to expose the schema of the database. Once configured, the Secoda API can then be used to run profiles on the database, and authenticate with the database credentials configured in Postgres. Once the profiles are executed, Secoda will generate a data lineage graph to visualize the data transformation and movement, as well as its control point information. This will enable users to have faster insights into the quality of data and identify data points in the database quickly.

How to set up

Secoda is a data discovery tool designed to help organizations unlock the value of their data. It provides an intuitive, user-friendly interface to quickly and easily explore and analyze data across the modern data stack, including databases, data warehouses, data lakes, and cloud storage. With Secoda, users can easily identify key insights, trends, and correlations in their data, as well as detect anomalies and outliers. Additionally, Secoda provides powerful visualizations and dashboards to help users quickly identify and act on data-driven opportunities.
