Data type rules

Note See also: Data type rules.

Data type

Rule Rule type Description
Empty Check EMPTYCHECK

Identifies records where the target column contains an explicit empty string (''). A rule break occurs when the column value is equal to the empty string.

Null Check NULLCHECK

Identifies records where the target column contains an explicit NULL value. A rule break occurs when the column value is explicitly NULL.

Date Check DATECHECK

Checks if the column value can be successfully parsed into a recognized date format. A rule break occurs if the value is not of this data format.

Integer Check INTCHECK

Checks if the column value can be successfully parsed and cast as an integer. A rule break occurs if the value is not of this data format.

Double Check DOUBLECHECK

Checks if the column value can be successfully parsed and cast as a double (floating point) number. A rule break occurs if the value is not of this data format.

String Check STRINGCHECK

Checks the underlying data to confirm compatibility with the expected string type. A rule break occurs if the value is not of this data format.

Mixed Datatype Check DATATYPECHECK

Identifies the most frequent datatype in the column (for example, String or Integer). It then reports the fraction of rows that do not match this dominant type, helping you quickly spot data inconsistencies and unexpected type mixing.

Note Mixed datatype rules are not supported in Pushdown.
