Data Quality can paginate up to 500,000 rows of dictionary data at a time, based on five columns of dictionary data. The physical limit for your dictionary depends on the number of rows and columns in the dictionary and the number of characters in each cell. The limit governs any operation to view or update data, such as a search and replace operation, that you perform in the dictionary.
When a dictionary contains more data than Data Quality can paginate in a single operation, you can use the filter query options to retrieve a subset of the dictionary data. Data Quality applies the filter to the complete dictionary, regardless of the quantity of data that the dictionary may contain. Use the
Add Filter
option to define the filter query.
A single filter query can return data up to the pagination limit. You can define multiple filters if necessary to cover the complete contents of your dictionary.
The complete dictionary data set is available to assets that you test in Data Quality and to transformations that contain Data Quality assets.
