Data Location Conditions
A Data Location condition matches where a column exists in the database hierarchy (its database, schema, or table) rather than anything about the column itself. It doesn’t match the column name; use a Column Name condition for that.
Fields
Section titled “Fields”- Location — a database, schema, and table value. Any field left as
*or empty is treated as a wildcard.
Example
Section titled “Example”This condition matches any column in the HR schema’s CUSTOMERS table, in any database:
{ "target": "COLUMN_LOCATION", "location": { "database": "*", "schema": "HR", "table": "CUSTOMERS" } }Behavior
Section titled “Behavior”In Match Confidence scoring, a Data Location match is outranked by a Regex or Column Name match, but outranks a Data Length or Column Size match on the same column.
Availability
Section titled “Availability”Data Location conditions evaluate on every classification job, with no gating by data source or processing location. See Classification Processing Location for the full picture.
