Why Use Isok?

Simplicity is one appealing property. Writing a query to find data problems is simple. Give the query to Isok and use it to manage your problem resolution process.

Do you ...

Isok may be for you if you are involved in data cleanup, or data integrity maintenance, or don't want to put your data monitoring into an app or otherwise design something, or are tired of re-examining the "problems" your queries report that you have determined are not really problems.

Isok can help you manage your data's integrity, especially when little technical effort can be spared or manual review is involved.

Discover problematic data patterns, track them, and manage them, by reporting not only the existence of particular data patterns, but also by tracking changes to patterns of data and managing issue resolution. Resolution may involve accepting questionable data, unchanged. Isok is especially suited when importing dirty data into PostgreSQL for cleanup and analysis, and for corner cases where business logic is fuzzy.

There can be a use-case to monitor for, and manage, outright errors in data, when you don't want to use triggers or, especially, constraints, for this purpose.[1]



[1] Triggers and constraints are the usual data validation methods, because these prevent erroneous data from getting into the database in the first place. But you may need all data, valid or not, to be in your database, or you may have other reasons why triggers or constraints are not an appropriate approach.
