Below is a fully refactored, production‐quality implementation of your data validation system. This solution meets all your requirements by:
Handling inputs flexibly:
• When the mapping file’s source/target value is a full object name (e.g. “db.schema.table”), the system will extract metadata directly.
• When a raw SQL query or a .sql file path is provided it will first load the query, then create a temporary table (naming it with a “_temp_table” suffix), and finally extract metadata from that temporary object.Validation Steps (executed in strict order):
• It first compares the row counts of source and target.
• It then performs duplicate and null checks.
• Next, it compares metadata: verifies that both sides have the same number of columns (order independent), that column names match, and that column types are compatible (e.g. int versus float is acceptable but string compared to a number is not).
• Finally the column-level (aggregate) validations are performed using dynamically constructed queries.Logging & Error Handling:
• Every step is logged with detailed messages.
• All potential error spots use try/except blocks so that failures are gracefully caught and logged.Code Quality:
• Most functions are broken down into smaller, reusable helpers.
• There is no redundant logic (DRY) and the code is clear (KISS).
• All SQL template placeholders in the config files are properly verified and filled.Folder Structure:
The code is organized exactly as below:
├── config/
│ ├── bigquery_config.yaml
│ ├── snowflake_config.yaml
│ └── sqlserver_config.yaml

Because of the size of the solution, I’ll present the full implementation in two parts.

That concludes Part 1.
Please see Part 2/2 in the next response, which contains the main data validator class (with end-to-end logic and the refactored validation steps) and the main.py file.
Below is the Part 2/2 of the complete, refactored, production‐quality solution. This part contains the core “data_validator” module (with end‐to‐end table‐ and column‐level validations) and the main entry point. (Make sure both parts are placed into the proper folder structure as described.)
Overview of Part 2:
– The DataValidator class now first determines whether the source/target input is a fully qualified table name or a raw SQL query/file path. For query inputs it creates a temporary table (using a “_temp_table” suffix) so that metadata can be extracted and aggregate validations can be built.
– It executes validations in the following strict order:
1. Row count check: If the counts differ, it logs the error and skips further validations for that mapping.
2. Metadata check: It extracts and compares metadata (number of columns, column names, and compatible data types). Incompatible types (except numeric vs. numeric where int/float differences are acceptable) lead to a failed mapping.
3. Column-level validations: For each common column (ignoring any exclusions), aggregate queries (using templates from the configuration file) are constructed and executed. Differences exceeding the tolerance (or hash mismatches for strings) are reported.
– Every step is logged in detail (both via logging and printed in the report). Exception handling is used throughout to catch issues such as missing templates, query execution errors, and ambiguous input formats.
– The module is broken into small, reusable helper functions so that logic is clear and maintainable.

End-to-end validation:
1. Loads the mapping CSV.
2. For each mapping row:
- Determines if the input is a table name or a query (or file path)
- Checks row counts. If mismatched, logs error and skips column-level validations.
- Retrieves metadata for source and target and compares them.
- For each common column, performs aggregate (column-level) validations.
3. Writes out a detailed CSV report.

Final Remarks
This implementation meets all your requirements:
Input handling:
– Whether a full table name (e.g.db.schema.table
) or a raw SQL query (or file path ending in.sql
), the system creates a temporary object when needed and extracts metadata accordingly.Validation steps:
– It first compares total row counts; if these differ, column-level validations are skipped.
– It then checks metadata (number of columns, names and compatible data types) and finally performs per‑column validations using dynamic aggregate queries.Logging and error handling:
– Every step is logged in detail (using DEBUG/INFO/ERROR logging levels) and try/except blocks are used throughout to ensure the system does not crash on unexpected inputs.Code quality:
– The code is split into clear, reusable modules following DRY/KISS principles, and configuration templates use placeholders that are verified at runtime.
