Fixes the cost and correctness fallout when a generated dbt model lands with the wrong materialization, such as a full table rebuild of a huge model or a view where a table was needed, covering materialization review and config guardrails. Use when a merged model change spikes warehouse spend. Not for a model whose co…
Fixes the agent workflow where 900 source freshness results flood its context so it cannot find the failing model. Use when automation ingests full freshness output. Not for humans glancing at the dbt Cloud freshness page.
Fixes the aftermath and prevents recurrence of an agent running dbt with --full-refresh against prod, wiping incremental history. Use when a full refresh hit a production incremental or snapshot-adjacent table. Not for planned full refreshes during migrations.
Fixes the damage and root cause after an agent dropped unique_key from an incremental model config, forcing full table rescans or duplicate prone appends. Use when an incremental model lost its unique_key. Not for models designed as append-only.
Fixes incremental merge models that keep duplicating rows instead of deduplicating on unique_key. Use when row counts grow on every run with repeated keys. Not for append models, which duplicate by design.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - dbt incremental model full refresh failed: unique key collision - dbt incremental merge failed: cannot merge on column of type variant

Fixes the silent empty table outcome where dbt run succeeds but the Snowflake table has no rows. Use when the built table exists, the run is green, and selects return zero rows. Not for failed runs or missing tables.

Fixes a dbt snapshot that misses hard deletes, covering the check strategy versus timestamp strategy, invalidate_hard_deletes, and sources that physically remove rows. Use when deleted source rows stay current in the snapshot. Not for soft deletes that arrive as an updated flag.

Public search query: dbt snapshot hard deletes not detected, snapshot config broken

Fixes a dbt incremental merge that fails on Snowflake because the unique key or a compared column is a VARIANT, covering casting the key, flattening semi-structured data, and merge strategy choice. Use when the merge statement errors on a variant column. Not for a plain type mismatch between two scalar columns.

Fixes a dbt incremental model whose full refresh fails on its unique key, because the source itself contains duplicate keys or the merge key is not actually unique. Use when a full refresh fails on an incremental model. Not for a normal incremental run that merges cleanly.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - dbt incremental model broken: re-running full refresh every time - dbt test failed: schema mismatch on incremental model - [U…
