What is the Process to Run dbt Projects?

Running dbt projects can be achieved through either dbt Cloud or dbt Core. dbt Cloud is a hosted application that allows you to develop directly from a web browser using the dbt Cloud IDE. It also supports developing using a command line interface, dbt Cloud CLI. On the other hand, dbt Core is an open source project where you can develop from the command line.

dbt-cloud command_name

The above code is an example of how to run the dbt Cloud CLI. You replace 'command_name' with the specific dbt command you want to execute. For instance, 'dbt-init' can be used to create a new dbt project.

How to Prepare for Running dbt for the First Time?

Before running dbt for the first time, it is necessary to execute the 'make prepare-dbt' command. This prepares the environment for dbt to run smoothly.

How to Build the Container from the Data-Image Project?

Building the container from the data-image project is a necessary step when running dbt. This process involves creating a container that will house the dbt project.

docker build -t data-image .

The 'docker build -t data-image .' command is used to build the container from the data-image project. This container is essential for running the dbt project.

  • data-image: The project from which the container is built.

What is the Role of DBT_PROFILE_PATH Environment Variable?

The DBT_PROFILE_PATH environment variable is crucial in running dbt projects. It is necessary to ensure that this variable is set before running dbt.

export DBT_PROFILE_PATH=path_to_your_profiles_directory

The 'export DBT_PROFILE_PATH=path_to_your_profiles_directory' command is used to set the DBT_PROFILE_PATH environment variable. This variable points to the directory where your dbt profiles are stored.

  • export DBT_PROFILE_PATH=path_to_your_profiles_directory: The command used to set the DBT_PROFILE_PATH environment variable.

How to Run Commands from a Shell Inside a dbt Container?

To start a dbt container and run commands from a shell inside of it, you can use the 'make dbt-image' command. This command starts a dbt container and allows you to execute commands from within it.
