dbt enables data analysts and engineers to transform their data using the same practices that software engineers use to build applications.

dbt is the T in ELT. Organize, cleanse, denormalize, filter, rename, and pre-aggregate the raw data in your warehouse so that it's ready for analysis.

dbt-database-adapter-scaffold

The dbt-database-adapter-scaffold package is a user-friendly interactive way to build out a new adapter.

:warning: Versioning

dbt-core use semver to denote compatibility and intends to maintain compatibility for database adapters of the same major and minor version. (i.e. any patch version for a given major and minor version) This is a convention used by existing plugins that database adapter plugin developers can opt into during project setup. When generating a scaffold, the project version will include the same major and minor version of the latest stable version of dbt-core.
