Table Analysis Workflow

This skill automatically analyzes your provided table to generate optimized SQL workflows. Here's how it works:

1. Table Structure Analysis

• Column Detection: Automatically identifies all columns and their data types
• Data Type Classification: Distinguishes between numeric, categorical, and text columns
• Primary Key Identification: Detects unique identifier columns
• Missing Value Assessment: Analyzes data completeness

2. Feature Engineering Recommendations

• Numeric Features: Identifies columns suitable for scaling and normalization
• Categorical Features: Detects columns requiring encoding (one-hot, label encoding)
• Target Variable: Helps identify the dependent variable for modeling
• Feature Selection: Recommends relevant features based on data types

3. SQL Generation Process

• Dynamic Column Lists: Generates column lists based on your table structure
• Parameterized Queries: Creates flexible SQL templates using your table schema
• Table Name Integration: Replaces placeholders with your actual table names
• Database Context: Adapts to your database and schema naming conventions

How to Use This Skill

1. Provide Your Table Information:

   "Analyze table: database_name.table_name"
   or
   "Use table: my_data with target column: target_var"
   

2. The Skill Will:

   • Query your table structure using SHOW COLUMNS FROM table_name
   • Analyze data types and suggest appropriate preprocessing
   • Generate complete SQL workflow with your specific column names
   • Provide optimized parameters based on your data characteristics

Example Usage

-- Example workflow for Teradata GLM Analytics
-- Replace 'your_table' with actual table name

-- 1. Data exploration and validation
SELECT COUNT(*),
       COUNT(DISTINCT your_id_column),
       AVG(your_target_column),
       STDDEV(your_target_column)
FROM your_database.your_table;

-- 2. Execute complete regression workflow
-- (Detailed SQL provided by the skill)
