Unlimited integrations
Dataedo is equipped with multiple metadata scanners that connect to various database technologies, extract
data structures and metadata and load them into the repository. See the list of available connectors below.
Additionally we also allow you to import a schema through ODBC connectors.
Dataedo features three types of description fields:
Descriptions - Every object in Dataedo repository has a description field. There are two types of
descriptions - plain text and rich text. They can be used for example to explain
where the data for particular column comes from and how it’s calculated.
Titles/aliases - Table and column names aren’t always self-explanatory. Dataedo gives you the
ability to create meaningful titles for them. This title will be added after the
name of an object in the export. For instance: invoices_tab (Documents).
Custom fields - allow to define additional descriptive fields on top of built-in description and
title/alias to add more meaning and metadata to your data. You can create up to 100
custom fields, depending on your plan.
Titles & descriptions
Dataedo Data Doc feautres two types of description fields:
Descriptions - Every object in Dataedo repository has a description field. There are two types of
descriptions - plain text and rich text. They can be used for example to explain
where the data for particular column comes from and how it’s calculated.
Titles/aliases - Table and column names aren’t always self-explanatory. Dataedo gives you the
ability to create meaningful titles for them. This title will be added after the
name of an object in the export. For instance: invoices_tab (Documents).
Data Profiling
Data Profiling module allows you to look into the actual data stored in the tables and analyze how
many null, empty, distinct values there are in each field, what are the min, max
and average values and list most popular values. This information can be saved
in the repository and is easily accessible in Web Catalog and Desktop, making it
even easier for everyone to understand the tables and columns.
Data Lineage
Data Lineage module allows you to manually configure and browse how data flows between
your objects and data sources. Data Lineage in Dataedo contains two parts. You can design flows using
Dataedo Desktop and browse diagrams using Dataedo Web Catalog.
Repository
Metadata Repository is a database that stores all the metadata managed by Dataedo. It can have one of two
forms:
File repository - stored locally on your computer drive
Server repository - self hosted SQL Server or Azure SQL Database
Command line
Launch import & exports from command line.
File repository
Store your metadata as a file on your drive.
