Overview

Data profiling is the process of reviewing source data, understanding structure, content, and interrelationships, and identifying potential for data projects 
When you enable data discovery for a resource and scan the resource, the Enterprise Data Catalog identifies profiling-related metadata, such as null values, distinct values, inferred data types, unique keys, and data domains in the resource. 
When you create a resource, choose the Metadata Load Settings > Data Discovery > Enable Data Discovery option to discover profiling-related metadata and unique keys. Based on your requirements, you can configure domain connection settings, basic profile settings, unique key inference settings, and column similarity settings.
