Data profiling for Snowflake

This is some text inside of a div block.

What is Snowflake

Snowflake is a cloud-based data warehouse tool that enables businesses to store and analyze their data in the cloud. It is designed to be highly scalable and secure, allowing businesses to store and analyze large amounts of data with ease. Snowflake also offers a variety of features such as data sharing, data replication, and data security, making it a great choice for businesses looking to store and analyze their data in the cloud.

Benefits of setting up data profiling

Data profiling for Snowflake helps organizations uncover hidden patterns, relationships, and trends in their data sets. This allows businesses to make more informed decisions which improves operations and increases efficiency. Data profiling helps identify data inaccuracies, troubleshoot data inconsistencies, and help organizations clean and prepare data for data analysis or data migration. It also helps organizations to understand their data better, improve data quality, and gain visibility with how the data is collected, stored and accessed. Ultimately, data profiling helps organizations to understand their data better and make better decisions.

Why should you have Data Profiling for Snowflake

Data profiling using Snowflake and Secoda can be set up in an automated way that provides the advantages of both systems working in unison. To set up for this, the data is first loaded into Snowflake. Once the data is loaded, Secoda will be used as the automated data lineage tool to trace the source of the data, ensure consistency and purity, detect anomalies, measure progress, and assess the data quality. Snowflake's built-in data sharing capabilities will be set up to enable data profiling collaboration. It also provides the tools to review and cleanse the data prior to profiling while ensuring security. Snowflake will also be used to create a data dictionary that captures all of the data geometry, fields, data types, frequency, representative values and other pertinent information to provide an understanding of the data before data profiling begins. Finally, Secoda's data profiling capability is set up to analyze the metadata and data in the data dictionary and Snowflake to provide analytics and help understand what is stored in the database and how it is connected.

How to set up
