dbt demo data

This repository contains demo data and a starter project intended for use with dbt.

⚠️ This repo is a work-in-progress: Best to come back sometime soon :)

Installing source data

In order to use this demo dbt project, you must manually import data into your data platform using the steps shown below.

Snowflake

• Assume a ROLE in your Snowflake account that permits you to create new databases, schemas, stages, and external tables
• Navigate to the installation script and copy the contents of this document
• Run the script and confirm that the transaction is committed successfully

After running the script, you may need to run GRANT statements manually depending on your existing configuration in Snowflake. At a minimum, you will need to make sure that role used by your dbt job is able to read from external tables in this schema:

-- Change this DBT_ROLE value as needed
set DBT_ROLE='TRANSFORMER';

grant usage on database DBT_DEMO_DATA
    to role identifier($DBT_ROLE);

grant usage on schema DBT_DEMO_DATA.ECOMMERCE
    to role identifier($DBT_ROLE);

grant select on all external tables in schema DBT_DEMO_DATA.ECOMMERCE
    to role identifier($DBT_ROLE);
