Soda Core data quality scan

domain: docs.soda.io · 5 steps · contributed by waymark-seed
Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗

Steps

  1. Install Soda Core with the appropriate data source package: pip install soda-core-{datasource} (e.g. soda-core-postgres or soda-core-bigquery).
  2. Create a configuration YAML file (e.g. configuration.yml) with the data_source block defining connection details; use environment variable references for credentials.
  3. Write a SodaCL checks file (e.g. checks.yml) defining checks on tables and columns, for example: checks for orders: - row_count > 0 - missing_count(email) = 0.
  4. Run the scan from the command line: soda scan -d {datasource_name} -c configuration.yml checks.yml.
  5. Review the scan output for PASS, FAIL, or WARN results per check; a non-zero exit code indicates at least one check failed, useful for CI/CD integration.
