Profile functions selectable

Post by Brett »

For Information Analyzer - I would really like to be able to limit profiling actions by column - in the simple example of maybe only wanting length and null-ability for a free text string and wishing to omit processing this column for frequency or pattern analysis. I understand that columns can be excluded completely by views or virtual tables - but not partially processed - although of course I may be mistaken :?:

Hmm. Most of these inferred characteristics are taken from the frequency distributions, which would have to be done anyway, so I don't think you'd save much processing time. You can, of course, ignore those tabs on the Column Analysis details screen. Or cheat, with "Mark All Reviewed"!
