Find an existing way to handle this or build it:

  • If I rename a model, the old name still exists in Snowflake until I manually delete it. This could cause issues where we reference the old version by accident. I'd rather get a message saying the table doesnt exist anymore. Maybe this is where a metrics layer would start being helpful also.
  • Diff the models in the dbt project against the snowflake info schema and determine where theres stale tables left hanging around that need to be manually delete
