Auto-EDA

Automated Exploratory Data Analysis. Simplifying Data Exploration.

You can check some examples in the documentation.

Basic data exploration on databases currently supporting:

  • [x] MSSQL Server
  • [x] MySQL
  • [x] SQLite
  • [x] PostgreSQL
  • [ ] Oracle

Given two connections, a source and target database, it will collect metadata for a exploration such as:

  • Number of rows and columns.
  • Number of distinct values and nulls per column.
  • Distribution of the categorical variables.
  • Statistics of the numerical variables.
  • Trends from time series data.

The metadata from the source database will be stored in a metadata database that it will be accesible for any visualization tool to explore it.

How To use AutoEDADB

  • Clone or download the package.
  • Create two connections as described here to a source database and to the metadata database.
    • Source database: This is the DB you want to explore. You don't need any additional information, just a valid connection to the database.
    • Metadata database: It can be created if not exists. This database will store the information from the source databases.
  • Edit the two connection strings and then the call of describe_server(<YOUR_SERVER>) in explorer.py.
  • Run it with python explorer.py

To Do

  • [x] Using samples for large tables.
  • [ ] Update frequencies at once after collecting all the distinct values.
  • [ ] Encapsulate SQL code and reference it by engine: 'sqlserver', 'mysql', 'postgres', 'sqlite', etc.
  • [ ] Add multithreading processing to the queries.
  • [ ] Resume mode, now it deletes and insert again.
