Hi dbt gurus,

My goal is to create a single `final_table` in dbt by combining data from two different source models. I tried giving both models the same alias to insert into the `final_table`, but this caused the models to fail. I also tried using a `UNION` statement to combine them, but the business requirement is to avoid using a `UNION`. Is there another way in dbt to insert data from multiple source models into one final table without using a `UNION`?

thanks
