Add description in stg_nodes and views
Hi!
I would like to be able to extract the description
field for models, sources, metrics and exposures.
Let me know if you need more info on how I intend to use it
(Really appreciate the prompt reaction each time! 🙌)
Hi! Thanks for raising the issue. And, yes, could you please explain what you would do with those descriptions?
We used to extract all the descriptions at the beginning of the project but got some errors related to the fact that the query to load the models was then too big and wouldn't run. So, I wouldn't want to load the description of all models in stg_nodes
for example but could maybe find an alternative based on your needs.
I'm actually working on a custom data catalog. Getting these descriptions in BQ and then display them nicely on Notion or other UI
