Advanced dbt topics

• Converting a dbt jinja macro to a python function for use in a python model
• Debugging dbt snapshots
• Which dbt nodes respect the generate_schema_name macro?
• Stopping dbt from auto-expanding column types
• A quick explainer of the "dbt was unable to infer all dependencies for the model" error
• How to get models to run only on local timezones if your scheduler only supports UTC
• How to do multi-threaded / parallel operations with dbt
• How to correctly use a macro that returns a value to a hook
• Using alternative hosts for dbt hub packages
• Using query comments to identify how things came to be
• Freshness checking models instead of sources
• Converting the timestamps in dbt
• Can dbt introspect a table created in a pre-hook if we try to query from it in the body of the model?
• What keys to use from results or graph to associate a test with a node (model/source)
• Why it's best not to use Truthy/Falsy/Boolean types with Jinja
• A pattern for moving dbt vars from dbt_project.yml to macros
• Unloading new rows to a Snowflake stage with hooks
• Dynamically generating where parameters to the dbt_utils.union_relations macro
• dbt Cloud Slim CI using GitHub Actions
• Extracting Snowflake variant keys and mapping them to dbt vars so we can use them as column names
• Maintaining the order of columns with Redshift and dbt
• Making a macro use the same Snowflake warehouse as the model that's calling the macro
• Executing stored procedures from dbt
• The difference between --select and --selector arguments in dbt commands
• Tidying up the SQL statements dbt generates
• Accessing private GitHub repositories (dbt packages) using GitHub Apps installation access tokens
• Live tailing a dbt Cloud run using the dbt Cloud API
• Filtering dbt's catalog query to only relations that are used in the project
• Hooks vs operations in dbt
• Why can't I upload the run_results.json file (using dbt_artifacts) in an on-run-end hook?
• Are dbt freshness checks expensive in Snowflake?
• Making dbt use a BigQuery project that is different to our production jobs when developing in the cloud IDE
• Model name validation
• Installing really old dbt versions
• Getting dbt Cloud to throw an error if a selection did not include any models
• Adding custom generic dbt tests
• Recording model run errors in a table
• Making a dbt materialization that ignores certain columns
• Customising the dbt-event-logging package
• Overriding dbt Cloud default database / schema on CI runs
• Creating jobs with the dbt Cloud API
• Customising dbt snapshots
• Building SCD-2 models using the default incremental materialization
