Well, independent of the discussion about whether data profiling is
sensible etc., are you aware that Oracle Warehouse Builder 10gR2
offers quite advanced data profiling? It's not open source, but the DB
EE and I believe Standard Edition do include a license of the basic
product. The following article by an Oracle ACE can be a starting
point: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/rittman-owb.html.
Be sure to research the licensing of this 'option' - licensing is very
messy (and expensive!) with this OWB release, but I believe you need
the Data Quality option (that markets here as 222 Euro per named user
or Euro 11.105 per processor, should match the licensing of the
database.) Playing for a while should still be free. OWB is not a
fully intuitive product, the installation manual is definitively a
required read.
