About dqcheckr
dqcheckr adds drift analysis, then removes the YAML a user had to hand-write.
dqcheckr runs configurable data-quality checks over files and DuckDB tables, driven by YAML dataset configs and recording results as snapshots. The 0.2.0 release added the ability to compare two historical snapshots and report per-column statistical drift, schema changes and trend charts, extending the tool from point-in-time checking into change over time. The most recent tag, 0.3.0, attacks the other friction point by generating the config itself from a sniff pass over the data.
