dbt using macro
In dbt we can easily create macro to automate common use tasks. One of that would be a audit log operation. In your folder called macro, please create a file called "audit_operation.sql". {% macro audit_operation(activity_type) %} insert into raw . audit (run_id, TYPE_ACITIVITY) values ( '{{ 1 }}' , '{{ activity_type }}' ) {% endmacro %} And then we can use it in our dbt project like so. Instead of placing the SQL code in the commented code, we use macro. name : jaffle_shop profile : jaffle_shop seed-paths : [ "seeds" ] model-paths : [ "models" ] macro-paths : [ "macros" ] test-paths : [ "tests" ] # ← Make sure this exists clean-targets : - "target" - "dbt_packages" seeds : jaffle_shop : +schema : raw # on-run-start: "insert into raw.audit (run_id, TYPE_ACITIVITY) values ('1', 'pre-hook')" on-run-start : "{{ audit_operation('macro-pre-hoo...
