Data metric functions

INVALID_DE_POSTAL_CODE_COUNT (system data metric function)

Returns the count of non-NULL column values that are not a German postal code: five digits that do not begin with 00.

This topic provides the syntax for calling the function directly. To learn how to associate the function with a table or view so it runs at regular intervals, see Associate a DMF.

Syntax

SNOWFLAKE.CORE.INVALID_DE_POSTAL_CODE_COUNT(<query>)

Arguments

query

Specifies a SQL query that projects a single column.

Allowed data types

The column projected by the query must have the VARCHAR data type.

Returns

The function returns a NUMBER value. NULL values are not counted.

Usage notes

  • The function’s format check accepts any five-digit value that does not start with 00.
  • The whole value must match. A value with leading or trailing whitespace, or with separators other than the ones described here, is counted.
  • The function checks the format only; it does not verify that the postal code is assigned.

Example

Measure the number of invalid German postal codes in the postal_code column:

SELECT SNOWFLAKE.CORE.INVALID_DE_POSTAL_CODE_COUNT(
  SELECT
    postal_code
  FROM crm.tables.addresses
);
