dbt support

Last modified: 11 February 2024

DataSpell supports dbt® Core — an open-source data modeling tool, that allows users to transform, test, and deploy data in their data warehouses using SQL.

Enable the Database Tools and SQL plugin

This functionality relies on the Database Tools and SQL plugin, which is bundled and enabled in DataSpell by default. If the relevant features aren't available, make sure that you didn't disable the plugin.

  1. Press CtrlAlt0S to open the IDE settings and then select Plugins.

  2. Open the Installed tab, find the Database Tools and SQL plugin, and select the checkbox next to the plugin name.

dbt support in DataSpell includes:

  • Effortless project creation: you can easily create your dbt® project using a predefined template.

  • Easy Run, Build, and Debug: execute, build, or debug your project with Run Configurations in just a few clicks.

  • Intelligent code completion: DataSpell offers smart code completion for SQL and YML files.
