× Soda SQL has been deprecated. Use Soda Core with SodaCL to write checks for data quality.
Soda SQL supports the following data types in columns it scans. Currently, Soda does not support complex data types. For Soda Core data types, see Soda Core documentation.
A note about BigQuery datasets: Google uses the term dataset slightly differently than Soda (and many others) do.
In the context of Soda, a dataset is a representation of a tabular data structure with rows and columns. A dataset can take the form of a table in PostgreSQL or Snowflake, a stream in Kafka, or a DataFrame in a Spark application.
In the context of BigQuery, a dataset is “a top-level container that is used to organize and control access to your tables and views. A table or view must belong to a dataset…”
Instances of “dataset” in Soda documentation always reference the former.
