Hook Cleanup PITs
This macro should be used as a post hook for each PIT table, whenever a logarithmic snapshot logic is used. The macro deletes all records in a PIT table, that are no longer active. Deletion is no problem here because no actual data is deleted, only pointers to satellite entries.
| Parameters | Data Type | Required | Default Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| snapshot_relation | string | mandatory | – | The name of the dbt model that creates the snapshot table / view, that has the logarithmic snapshot logic applied. |
| snapshot_trigger_column | string | optional | datavault4dbt. snapshot_trigger_column | The name of the boolean column inside the snapshot tables, that activate/deactivate single snapshots. |
| sdts | string | optional | datavault4dbt. sdts_alias | The name of the snapshot date timestamp column inside the snapshot table. |
Example Usage:
An example usage for applying this macro as a post hook for a PIT table would look like this inside the PIT source_models config block:
"{{ config(post_hook="{{ datavault4dbt.clean_up_pit('control_snap_view') }}") }}"
