dbt Core v2.0.0-dev.30

v2.0.0-dev.30Pre-release
Added 4
  • Add Exasol adapter with connection/auth, TLS and timeout profile options, metadata adapter, agate/seed type conversion with HASHTYPE support, typed SQL literals, reserved-keyword auto-quoting, materializations (table/view/incremental), snapshots, model contracts and constraints, on_schema_change, grants, persist_docs, catalog generation, source-freshness, cross-database utilities, distribute_by/partition_by/primary_key configs, and interactive dbt init setup
  • Add parse-safe views (dbt.graph_nodes, dbt.models, dbt.seeds, dbt.tests, dbt.snapshots, dbt.sources, dbt.analyses, dbt.operations, dbt.functions, dbt.columns) for standalone querying of an exported index without exposing compile-only or never-populated columns at parse time
  • Add new ClickHouse configs: definer, sql_security, inserts_only
  • Track ref()/source()/this call provenance during Jinja rendering via on_this_reference listener hook to power the dbt.hard_coded_reference (DBT05) lint rule
Changed 2
  • Accept sequence-valued column_types, mapping-valued event_time, scalar policy_tags, and the legacy data-paths alias to match dbt-core's YAML config acceptance
  • The oss CLI now builds as a binary named dbt instead of dbt-sa-cli
Fixed 2
  • Fix regression in log-format-file use
  • Include invocation IDs in default Databricks query comments and preserve run-operation connection names
Security 1
  • Skip symlink, hard link, and device entries when extracting package tarballs instead of extracting them as-is

From dbt Core

2.0.0-dev.30

Released August 27, 2026

Features
  • Add Exasol adapter (Phase 1): connection/auth with TLS and timeout profile options, metadata adapter, agate/seed type conversion (incl. HASHTYPE) and typed SQL literals, reserved-keyword auto-quoting, and the full macro bundle — materializations (table/view/incremental append·merge·delete+insert·microbatch), snapshots (timestamp/check, hard deletes), model contracts and constraints, on_schema_change, grants, persist_docs for tables and views, catalog generation, source-freshness, cross-database utils (dateadd/datediff/last_day/hash/bool_or/listagg/safe_cast/equals/split_part), distribute_by/partition_by/primary_key configs, and interactive dbt init setup
  • Add parse-safe views (dbt.graph_nodes, dbt.models, dbt.seeds, dbt.tests, dbt.snapshots, dbt.sources, dbt.analyses, dbt.operations, dbt.functions, dbt.columns) so standalone querying of an exported index (views.sql) never silently exposes a compile-only or never-populated column at parse time.
  • [ClickHouse] New configs available: definer, sql_security, inserts_only. Available but not working yet: projections, codec. (#14585)
  • Track ref()/source()/this call provenance during Jinja rendering (on_this_reference listener hook), powering the dbt.hard_coded_reference (DBT05) lint rule (#16080)
Fixes
  • Fix regression in log-format-file use (#15685)
  • Include invocation IDs in default Databricks query comments and preserve run-operation connection names (#15689)
  • Accept sequence-valued column_types, mapping-valued event_time, scalar policy_tags, and the legacy data-paths alias to match dbt-core's YAML config acceptance
Under the Hood
  • The oss CLI now builds as a binary named dbt instead of dbt-sa-cli (build output is at target/<profile>/dbt)
Security
  • Skip symlink, hard link, and device entries when extracting package tarballs instead of extracting them as-is
