1. A method for execution by a database management system that includes at least one processor, the method comprising:
obtaining, by the database management system, a row of data corresponding to a plurality of columns;
generating, by the database management system, a data confidence value for data within one or more columns of the plurality of columns, wherein the generating the data confidence value includes determining a data type associated with the row of data, and determining, based on the determined data type, to generate the data confidence value, and wherein the data type includes one or more of digital sensor data, network traffic data, and genomic base pairs of a genome sequence;
generating, by the database management system, a confidence data record that includes a new column added to the one or more columns, wherein the new column includes the data confidence value; and
storing, by the database management system, the confidence data record in memory of the database management system.
