[EPIC] Report what the warehouse answers for each statement in logs and artifacts
### Goal Make what the warehouse tells dbt about a statement (rows written, bytes processed, query id, ...) reach users reliably: in the console / `dbt.log`, in `run_results.json` (`adapter_response`), and in OTEL telemetry. Today dbt v2 shows no row counts on result lines,...

...and the column gets a VARIANT/OBJECT type, so we can drop the `static_analysis='off'` workaround. Snowflake docs: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/user-guide/ml-functions/classification ### What kind of SQL understanding issue is this? Parse error on valid SQL ### Which database...
What's one snowflake feature you wish to knew about earlier?
...out about QUALIFY. It lets me filter window function results without writing a subquery. I wish I had known this sooner, it would have saved me so much time.. What about you? What’s one feature or trick that made you think “why didn’t I know this before?”. Would love to learn...
Snowflake Signup - Something went wrong

I’m testing Snowflake Openflow again after a long while, and it’s still absolutely terrible.
I really wish they’d just throw the entire UI in the trash. Why am I forced to look at a "canvas" for the runtime? Can’t they make the parameters and configuration settings actually visible and accessible?. On top of that, I’m trying to create a Gen2 instance, but the runtime...

[Catalogsv2] Make Spark materializations consume catalog-resolved file format
...snapshot, Python, clone, and documentation behavior should be added only where a focused failing test demonstrates that the same resolver is required. Live Glue/EMR and REST/Polaris acceptance remains in #16776 and #16777. ## Dependency - Foundation routing and metadata:...
Dashboards: Legacy datasources break variable interpolation when more than one scene is active
...with the same name. - Keeping the variables on child scenes under a shared root doesn't work either. Scenes resolves variables from an object up to its ancestors, so a root can't see its children's variables. So with one scene, variable names collide. With several scenes, the...

Snowflake Views: what's your rule on which ones end users use?
...example, most of our views are same as the table ddl just without a few audit columns. I can't seem to understand this. Interested to get your rule on which ones you have end users (analyst, applications, reports) using and if you have also noticed the performance difference and...

[v2 Bug] info schema: `node_columns` omits source columns that static analysis resolves, and `data_type_inferred` for sources is only the YAML type
### Is this a new bug in dbt v2.x compared to the latest version of dbt 1.x? - [x] I believe this is a new bug in dbt v2.x - [x] I have searched the existing issues and could not find a duplicate (closest: #16514, which is about warehouse types from `--write-catalog`; this one...
[Snowflake] CLD incremental models fail on DROP TABLE ... CASCADE of the __dbt_tmp relation
...The case of `catalog_database` vs. the relation's database is not the cause (tested). ## Workaround A project-level override that never emits `cascade`: With it, append, merge and delete+insert all produce correct results across two incremental runs. ## Suggested fix Resolve a...
[destination-snowflake] Custom domains rejected unlike source connections

The bro-ing between Snowflake and Fabric is getting wierd
...duplicate copies of data and 2 data platforms (one of which can be argued is mostly awful)? For Power BI, I get it, but these posts and bro-ing is more. I think Fabric needs Snowflake a lot more than the other way around. It’s definitely getting weird seeing Snowflake give so...
