New discussion topic on DataCleaner's online discussion forum (http://datacleaner.org/forum):
boriskey posted the subject 'guess data types ' ------------------- hello, I have very wide csv files with a bunch of fields - some of them are text fields, some are numeric and some are dates or timestamps. I was hoping to use data cleaner to analyze the fields as strings and then let it figure it out data types for every fields automatically and give me report in form of html or text file. Is it something I can achieve with data cleaner? Informatica DQ has this feature btw. It is extremely helpful for ETL development since many ETL tools require developers to define data types and sizes upfront. I know i can run a combination of string analyzer, number analyzer and pattern distribution tool but then one has to look through all these reports and do a lot of work to guess data types/sizes. ------------------- View the topic online to reply - go to http://datacleaner.org/topic/1104/guess-data-types- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DataCleaner-notify" group.
