Usage: dbt [OPTIONS] [COMMAND] [ARGS]...
An ELT tool for managing your SQL transformations and data models. For more
documentation on these commands, visit: docs.getdbt.com
Options:
--cache-selected-only / --no-cache-selected-only
At start of run, populate relational cache
only for schemas containing selected nodes,
or for all schemas of interest.
-d, --debug / --no-debug Display debug logging during dbt execution.
Useful for debugging and making bug reports.
--defer / --no-defer If set, resolve unselected nodes by
deferring to the manifest within the --state
directory.
--defer-state DIRECTORY Override the state directory for deferral
only.
--deprecated-favor-state TEXT Internal flag for deprecating old env var.
-x, --fail-fast / --no-fail-fast
Stop execution on first failure.
--favor-state / --no-favor-state
If set, defer to the argument provided to
the state flag for resolving unselected
nodes, even if the node(s) exist as a
database object in the current environment.
--hints-enabled / --no-hints-enabled
If set, dbt will surface occasional hints
suggesting ways to speed up or improve your
project.
--indirect-selection [eager|cautious|buildable|empty]
Choose which tests to select that are
adjacent to selected resources. Eager is
most inclusive, cautious is most exclusive,
and buildable is in between. Empty includes
no tests at all.
--log-cache-events / --no-log-cache-events
Enable verbose logging for relational cache
events to help when debugging.
--log-format [text|debug|json|default]
Specify the format of logging to the console
and the log file. Use --log-format-file to
configure the format for the log file
differently than the console.
--log-format-file [text|debug|json|default]
Specify the format of logging to the log
file by overriding the default value and the
general --log-format setting.
--log-level [debug|info|warn|error|none]
Specify the minimum severity of events that
are logged to the console and the log file.
Use --log-level-file to configure the
severity for the log file differently than
the console.
--log-level-file [debug|info|warn|error|none]
Specify the minimum severity of events that
are logged to the log file by overriding the
default value and the general --log-level
setting.
--log-path PATH Configure the 'log-path'. Only applies this
setting for the current run. Overrides the
'DBT_LOG_PATH' if it is set.
--maximum-seed-size-mib INTEGER
Specify max size (MiB) for seed files that
will be hashed for state comparison. Set to
0 for no limit.
--partial-parse / --no-partial-parse
Allow for partial parsing by looking for and
writing to a pickle file in the target
directory. This overrides the user
configuration file.
--populate-cache / --no-populate-cache
At start of run, use `show` or
`information_schema` queries to populate a
relational cache, which can speed up
subsequent materializations.
--print / --no-print Output all {{ print() }} macro calls.
--printer-width INTEGER Sets the width of terminal output
--profile TEXT Which existing profile to load. Overrides
setting in dbt_project.yml.
-q, --quiet / --no-quiet Suppress all non-error logging to stdout.
Does not affect {{ print() }} macro calls.
-r, --record-timing-info PATH When this option is passed, dbt will output
low-level timing stats to the specified
file. Example: `--record-timing-info
output.profile`
--send-anonymous-usage-stats / --no-send-anonymous-usage-stats
Send anonymous usage stats to dbt Labs.
--snowflake-projects-otel / --no-snowflake-projects-otel
Enable OpenTelemetry span instrumentation
for node and hook execution.
--show-all-deprecations / --no-show-all-deprecations
By default, each type of a deprecation
warning is only shown once. Use this flag to
show all deprecation warning instances.
--state DIRECTORY Unless overridden, use this state directory
for both state comparison and deferral.
--static-parser / --no-static-parser
Use the static parser.
-t, --target TEXT Which target to load for the given profile
--use-colors / --no-use-colors Specify whether log output is colorized in
the console and the log file. Use --use-
colors-file/--no-use-colors-file to colorize
the log file differently than the console.
--use-colors-file / --no-use-colors-file
Specify whether log file output is colorized
by overriding the default value and the
general --use-colors/--no-use-colors
setting.
--use-experimental-parser / --no-use-experimental-parser
Enable experimental parsing features.
--use-v2-parser / --no-use-v2-parser
Delegate parsing to the v2 parser instead of
running dbt-core's own parser.
-V, -v, --version Show version information and exit
--version-check / --no-version-check
If set, ensure the installed dbt version
matches the require-dbt-version specified in
the dbt_project.yml file (if any).
Otherwise, allow them to differ.
--warn-error If dbt would normally warn, instead raise an
exception. Examples include --select that
selects nothing, deprecations,
configurations with no associated models,
invalid test configurations, and missing
sources/refs in tests.
--warn-error-options WARNERROROPTIONSTYPE
If dbt would normally warn, instead raise an
exception based on error/warn configuration.
Examples include --select that selects
nothing, deprecations, configurations with
no associated models, invalid test
configurations, and missing sources/refs in
tests. This argument should be a YAML
string, with keys 'error' or 'warn'. eg.
'{"error": "all", "warn":
["NoNodesForSelectionCriteria"]}'
--write-json / --no-write-json Whether or not to write the manifest.json
and run_results.json files to the target
directory
--upload-to-artifacts-ingest-api / --no-upload-to-artifacts-ingest-api
Whether or not to upload the artifacts to
the dbt Cloud API
-h, --help Show this message and exit.
