DataBase Quality Tool

DBQT (DataBase Quality Tool) 🎯

DBQT is a lightweight, Python-first data quality testing framework that helps data teams maintain high-quality data through automated checks and intelligent suggestions.

🛠️ Current Tools

Column Comparison Tool (dbqt compare)

Compare database schemas between source and target databases:

• Table-level comparison
• Column-level comparison with data type compatibility checks
• Generates detailed Excel report with:
  • Table differences
  • Column differences
  • Data type mismatches
  • Formatted worksheets for easy analysis

Usage:

dbqt compare source_schema.csv target_schema.csv

To generate the required CSV schema files from your database, run this query:

SELECT
    upper(table_schema) as sch,
    upper(table_name) as name,
    upper(column_name) as col_name,
    upper(data_type) as data_type,
    ordinal_position
FROM information_schema.columns
where table_schema = 'YOUR_SCHEMA'
order by table_name, ordinal_position;

Export the results to CSV format to use with the compare tool.

Database Statistics Tool (dbqt dbstats)

Collect and analyze database statistics:

• Table row counts
• Updates statistics in CSV format
• Configurable through YAML

Usage:

dbqt dbstats config.yaml

Example config.yaml:

# Database connection configuration
connection:
  type: mysql  # mysql, snowflake, duckdb, csv, parquet, s3parquet
  host: localhost
  user: myuser
  password: mypassword
  database: mydb
  # Optional AWS configs for s3parquet
  # aws_profile: default
  # aws_region: us-west-2
  # bucket: my-bucket

  # Snowflake-specific configs
  # type: snowflake
  # account: your_account.region
  # warehouse: YOUR_WAREHOUSE
  # database: YOUR_DB
  # schema: YOUR_SCHEMA
  # role: YOUR_ROLE
  # authenticator: externalbrowser  # Optional: use SSO authentication
  # user: your_username
  # password: your_password  # Not needed if using externalbrowser auth

# Path to CSV file containing table names to analyze
tables_file: tables.csv

The tables.csv file should contain at minimum a table_name column. The tool will add/update a row_count column with the results.
