Data Profile Generate a comprehensive profile of a table that a new team member could use to understand the data. Step 1: Basic Metadata Query column metadata: If the table name isn't fully qualified, search INFORMATIONSCHEMA.TABLES to locate it first. Step 2: Size and Shape Run via runsql: Step 3: Column-Level Statistics For each column, gather appropriate statistics based on data type: Numeric Columns String Columns Date/Timestamp Columns Step 4: Cardinality Analysis For columns that look like categorical/dimension keys: This reveals: High-cardinality columns (likely IDs or unique values) Low-cardinality columns (likely categories or status fields) Skewed distributions (one value dominates) Step 5: Sample Data Get representative rows: If the table is large and you want variety, sample from different time periods or categories. Step 6: Data Quality Assessment Summarize quality across dimensions: Completeness Which columns have NULLs? What percentage?
