I have been trying to migrate our legacy ETLs to DBT, which is mostly strings peppered around in python code. I like the macros, templates, the visualisation tool ..... and would like to make our code as DBT compatible as possible. However, the DB we currently use (Vertica) does not have official support. There are dependency problems installing all of DBT. All I would like to get for my first milestone is to use refs and macros and better organise the SQLs. It is good enough if it generates standard SQL, that I can run outside DBT. My wish: I wish I could install select DBT packages just for what I need (templates, macros, refs, dependency) and still make sure I can gradually achieve DBT compatibility. At the moment it looks like all or nothing.
