Migration Guide

The full migration guide is at https://docs.getdbt.com/guides/migration/versions/upgrading-to-dbt-utils-v1.0

New features

  • New macro get_single_value (#696)
  • New macro safe_divide() — Returns null when the denominator is 0, instead of throwing a divide-by-zero error.
  • Add not_empty_string generic test that asserts column values are not an empty string. (#632, #634)

Enhancements

  • Implemented an optional group_by_columns argument across many of the generic testing macros to test for properties that only pertain to group-level or are can be more rigorously conducted at the group level. Property available in recency, at_least_one, equal_row_count, fewer_rows_than, not_constant, not_null_proportion, and sequential tests #633
  • With the addition of an on-by-default quote_identifiers flag in the star() macro, you can now disable quoting if necessary. (#706)

Fixes

  • union() now includes/excludes columns case-insensitively
  • The expression_is_true test doesn’t output * unless storing failures, a cost improvement for BigQuery (#683, #686)
  • Updated the slugify macro to prepend "_" to column names beginning with a number since most databases do not allow names to begin with numbers.

Under the hood

  • Remove deprecated table argument from unpivot (#671)
  • Delete the deprecated identifier macro (#672)
  • Handle deprecations in deduplicate macro (#673)
  • Fully remove varargs usage in surrogate_key and safe_add (#674)
  • Remove obsolete condition argument from expression_is_true (#699)
  • Explicitly stating the namespace for cross-db macros so that the dispatch logic works correctly by restoring the dbt. prefix for all migrated cross-db macros (#701)

Contributors:

Fixes

  • Remove cross-db dbt_utils references by @clausherther in #650

dbt-utils 0.9.0

Changed functionality

  • 🚨 (Almost all) cross-db macros are now implemented in dbt Core instead of dbt-utils. A backwards-compatibility layer remains for now and will be removed in dbt utils 1.0 later this year. Completed by @dbeatty10 and @jtcohen6 in dbt-labs#597, dbt-labs#586 and dbt-labs#615
    • See #487 for further discussion on the backstory
    • If you are a package maintainer with a dependency on these macros, prepare for their removal by switching to {{ dbt.some_macro() }}. Refer to #package-ecosystem in the Community Slack for further assistance
  • Feature: Add option to remove the source_column_name on the union_relations macro by @christineberger in dbt-labs#624

Fixes

  • Use adapter.quote() instead of hardcoded BQ quoting for get_table_types_sql by @alla-bongard in dbt-labs#636

dbt-utils v0.8.6

New features

  • New macros array_append and array_construct (#595)

Fixes

  • Use * in star macro if no columns (for SQLFluff) (#605, #561)
  • Only raise error within union_relations for build/run sub-commands (#606, #607)

Quality of life

  • Add slugify to list of Jinja Helpers (#602)

Under the hood

  • Fix make test for running integration tests locally (#344, #564, #591)

Contributors:

dbt-utils v0.8.5

🚨 deduplicate (#542, #548)

The call signature of deduplicate has changed. The previous call signature is marked as deprecated and will be removed in the next minor version.

  • The group_by argument is now deprecated and replaced by partition_by.
  • The order_by argument is now required.
  • The relation_alias argument has been removed as the macro now supports relation as a string directly. If you were using relation_alias to point to a CTE previously then you can now pass the alias directly to relation.

Before:

{% macro deduplicate(relation, group_by, order_by=none, relation_alias=none) -%}
...
{% endmacro %}

After:

{% macro deduplicate(relation, partition_by, order_by) -%}
...
{% endmacro %}

New features

  • Add an optional where clause parameter to get_column_values() to filter values returned (#511, #583)
  • Add where parameter to union_relations macro (#554)
  • Add Postgres specific implementation of deduplicate() (#548)
  • Add Snowflake specific implementation of deduplicate() (#543, #548)

Fixes

  • Fix union_relations source_column_name none option.
  • Enable a negative part_number for split_part() (#557, #559)
  • Make exclude case insensitive for union_relations() (#578, #587)

Quality of life

  • Documentation about listagg macro (#544, #560)
  • Fix links to macro section in table of contents (#555)
  • Use the ADR (Architectural Design Record) pattern for documenting significant decisions (#573)
  • Contributing guide (#574)
  • Add better documentation for deduplicate() (#542, #548)

Under the hood

  • Fail integration tests appropriately (#540, #545)
  • Upgrade CircleCI postgres convenience image (#584, #585)
  • Run test for deduplicate (#579, #580)
  • Reduce warnings when executing integration tests (#558, #581)
  • Framework for functional testing using pytest (#588)

Contributors:

dbt-utils v0.8.4

Fixes

  • Change from quotes to backticks for BQ (#536, #537)

dbt-utils v0.8.3

New features

  • A macro for deduplicating data, deduplicate() (#335, #512)
  • A cross-database implementation of listagg() (#530)
  • A new macro to get the columns in a relation as a list, get_filtered_columns_in_relation(). This is similar to the star() macro, but creates a Jinja list instead of a comma-separated string. (#516)

Fixes

  • get_column_values() once more raises an error when the model doesn't exist and there is no default provided (#531, #533)
  • get_column_values() raises an error when used with an ephemeral model, instead of getting stuck in a compilation loop (#358, #518)
  • BigQuery materialized views work correctly with get_relations_by_pattern() (#525)

Quality of life

  • Updated references to 'schema test' in project file structure and documentation (#485, #521)
  • date_trunc() and datediff() default macros now have whitespace control to assist with linting and readability #529
  • star() no longer raises an error during SQLFluff linting (#506, #532)

Contributors:

dbt-utils v0.8.2

Fixes

  • Fix union_relations error from #473 when no include/exclude parameters are provided (#505, #509)

dbt-utils v0.8.1

New features

  • A cross-database implementation of any_value() (#497, #501)
  • A cross-database implementation of bool_or() (#504)

Under the hood

  • also ignore dbt_packages/ directory #463
  • Remove block comments to make date_spine macro compatible with the Athena connector (#462)

Fixes

  • type_timestamp macro now explicitly casts postgres and redshift warehouse timestamp data types as timestamp without time zone, to be consistent with Snowflake behaviour (timestamp_ntz).
  • union_relations macro will now raise an exception if the use of include or exclude results in no columns (#473, #266).
  • get_relations_by_pattern() works with foreign data wrappers on Postgres again. (#357, #476)
  • star() will only alias columns if a prefix/suffix is provided, to allow the unmodified output to still be used in group by clauses etc. #468
  • The sequential_values test is now compatible with quoted columns #479
  • pivot() escapes values containing apostrophes #503

Contributors:

dbt-utils v0.8.0

🚨 Breaking changes

  • dbt ONE POINT OH is here! This version of dbt-utils requires any version (minor and patch) of v1, which means far less need for compatibility releases in the future.
  • The partition column in the mutually_exclusive_ranges test is now always called partition_by_col. This enables compatibility with --store-failures when multiple columns are concatenated together. If you have models built on top of the failures table, update them to reflect the new column name. (#423, #430)

Contributors:

dbt-utils 0.7.5

🚨 This is a compatibility release in preparation for dbt-core v1.0.0 (🎉). Projects using dbt-utils 0.7.4 with dbt-core v1.0.0 can expect to see a deprecation warning. This will be resolved in dbt_utils v0.8.0.

Fixes

  • Regression in get_column_values() where the default would not be respected if the model didn't exist. (#444, #448)

Under the hood

  • get_url_host() macro now correctly handles URLs beginning with android-app:// (#426)

Contributors:

dbt-utils v0.7.4

Fixes

  • get_column_values() now works correctly with mixed-quoting styles on Snowflake (#424, #440)
  • Remove extra semicolon in insert_by_period materialization that was causing errors (#439)
  • Swap limit 0 out for {{ limit_zero() }} on the slugify() tests to allow for compatibility with tsql-utils (#437)

Contributors:

dbt-utils v0.7.4b1

🚨🚨 We have renamed the master branch to main. If you have a local version of dbt-utils, you will need to update to the new branch. See the GitHub docs for more details.

Under the hood

  • Bump require-dbt-version to have an upper bound of '<=1.0.0'.
  • Url link fixes within the README for not_constant, dateadd, datediff and updated the header Logger to Jinja Helpers. (#431)
  • Fully qualified a cte_name.* in the equality test to avoid an Exasol error (#420)
  • get_url_host() macro now correctly handles URLs beginning with android-app:// (#426)

Contributors:

dbt-utils v0.7.3

Under the hood

  • Fix bug introduced in 0.7.2 in dbt_utils.star which could cause the except argument to drop columns that were not explicitly specified (#418)
  • Remove deprecated argument from not_null_proportion (#416)
  • Change final select statement in not_null_proportion to avoid false positive failures (#416)

dbt-utils v0.7.2

Features

  • Add not_null_proportion generic test that allows the user to specify the minimum (at_least) tolerated proportion (e.g., 0.95) of non-null values (#411)

Under the hood

  • Allow user to provide any case type when defining the exclude argument in dbt_utils.star() (#403)
  • Log whole row instead of just column name in 'accepted_range' generic test to allow better visibility into failures (#413)
  • Use column name to group in 'get_column_values ' to allow better cross db functionality (#407)

dbt-utils v0.7.1

Under the hood

  • Declare compatibility with dbt v0.21.0, which has no breaking changes for this package (#398)

dbt-utils v0.7.0

Breaking changes

🚨 New dbt version

dbt v0.20.0 or greater is required for this release. If you are not ready to upgrade, consider using a previous release of this package.

In accordance with the version upgrade, this package release includes breaking changes to:

  • Generic (schema) tests
  • dispatch functionality

🚨 get_column_values

The order of (optional) arguments has changed in the get_column_values macro.

Before:

{% macro get_column_values(table, column, order_by='count(*) desc', max_records=none, default=none) -%}
...
{% endmacro %}

After:

{% macro get_column_values(table, column, max_records=none, default=none) -%}
...
{% endmacro %}

If you were relying on the position to match up your optional arguments, this may be a breaking change — in general, we recommend that you explicitly declare any optional arguments (if not all of your arguments!)

-- before: This works on previous version of dbt-utils, but on 0.7.0, the `50` would be passed through as the `order_by` argument
{% set payment_methods = dbt_utils.get_column_values(
        ref('stg_payments'),
        'payment_method',
        50
) %}

-- after
{% set payment_methods = dbt_utils.get_column_values(
        ref('stg_payments'),
        'payment_method',
        max_records=50
) %}

Features

  • Add new argument, order_by, to get_column_values (code originally in #289 from @clausherther, merged via #349)
  • Add slugify macro, and use it in the pivot macro. 🚨 This macro uses the re module, which is only available in dbt v0.19.0+. As a result, this feature introduces a breaking change. (#314)
  • Add not_null_proportion generic test that allows the user to specify the minimum (at_least) tolerated proportion (e.g., 0.95) of non-null values

Under the hood

  • Update the default implementation of concat macro to use || operator (#373 from @ChristopheDuong). Note this may be a breaking change for adapters that support concat() but not ||, such as Apache Spark.
  • Use power() instead of pow() in generate_series() and haversine_distance() as they are synonyms in most SQL dialects, but some dialects only have power() (#354 from @swanderz)
  • Make get_column_values return the default value passed as a parameter instead of an empty string before compilation (#304 from @jmriego

dbt-utils v0.6.6

Fixes

  • make sequential_values generic test use dbt_utils.type_timestamp() to allow for compatibility with db's without timestamp data type. #376 from @swanderz

dbt-utils v0.6.5

Features

Fixes

  • Handle booleans gracefully in the unpivot macro (#305 @avishalom)
  • Fix a bug in get_relation_by_prefix that happens with Snowflake external tables. Now the macro will retrieve tables that match the prefix which are external tables (#351)
  • Fix cardinality_equality test when the two tables' column names differed (#334 @joellabes)

Under the hood

  • Fix Markdown formatting for hub rendering (#336 @coapacetic)
  • Reorder readme and improve docs

dbt-utils v0.6.4

Fixes

  • Fix insert_by_period to support dbt v0.19.0, with backwards compatibility for earlier versions (#319, #320)

Under the hood

  • Speed up CI via threads, workflows (#315, #316)
  • Fix equality test when used with ephemeral models + explicit column set (#321)
  • Fix get_query_results_as_dict integration test with consistent ordering (#322)
  • All macros are now properly dispatched, making it possible for non-core adapters to implement a shim package for dbt-utils (#312) Thanks @chaerinlee1 and @swanderz
  • Small, non-breaking changes to accomodate TSQL (can't group by column number references, no real TRUE/FALSE values, aggregation CTEs need named columns) (#310) Thanks @swanderz
  • Make get_relations_by_pattern and get_relations_by_prefix more powerful by returning relation.type (#323)

dbt-utils v0.6.3

  • Bump require-dbt-version to [">=0.18.0", "<0.20.0"] to support dbt v0.19.0 (#308, #309)

dbt-utils v0.6.2

Fixes

  • Fix the logic in get_tables_by_pattern_sql to ensure non-default arguments are respected (#279)

dbt-utils v0.6.1

Fixes

  • Fix the logic in get_tables_by_pattern_sql for matching a schema pattern on BigQuery (#275)

dbt-utils v0.6.0

Breaking changes

  • 🚨 dbt v0.18.0 or greater is required for this release. If you are not ready to upgrade, consider using a previous release of this package
  • 🚨 The get_tables_by_prefix, union_tables and get_tables_by_pattern macros have been removed

Migration instructions

  • Upgrade your dbt project to v0.18.0 using these instructions.
  • Upgrade your packages.yml file to use version 0.6.0 of this package. Run dbt clean and dbt deps.
  • If your project uses the get_tables_by_prefix macro, replace it with get_relations_by_prefix. All arguments have retained the same name.
  • If your project uses the union_tables macro, replace it with union_relations. While the order of arguments has stayed consistent, the tables argument has been renamed to relations. Further, the default value for the source_column_name argument has changed from '_dbt_source_table' to '_dbt_source_relation' — you may want to explicitly define this argument to avoid breaking changes.
-- before:
{{ dbt_utils.union_tables(
    tables=[ref('my_model'), source('my_source', 'my_table')],
    exclude=["_loaded_at"]
) }}

-- after:
{{ dbt_utils.union_relations(
    relations=[ref('my_model'), source('my_source', 'my_table')],
    exclude=["_loaded_at"],
    source_column_name='_dbt_source_table'
) }}
  • If your project uses the get_tables_by_pattern macro, replace it with get_tables_by_pattern_sql — all arguments are consistent.

Features

  • Switch usage of adapter_macro to adapter.dispatch, and define dbt_utils_dispatch_list, enabling users of community-supported database plugins to add or override macro implementations specific to their database (#267)
  • Use add_ephemeral_prefix instead of hard-coding a string literal, to support database adapters that use different prefixes (#267)
  • Implement a quote_columns argument in the unique_combination_of_columns generic test (#270 @JoshuaHuntley)

Quality of life

  • Remove deprecated macros get_tables_by_prefix and union_tables (#268)
  • Remove get_tables_by_pattern macro, which is equivalent to the get_tables_by_pattern_sql macro (the latter has a more logical name) (#268)

dbt-utils v0.5.1
