I have created a model that will create views by passing the var Table\_name. As I am using snowflake so getting column details from information\_schema.columns tables and creating views for that table dynamically at run time. The idea is to automate the process of creating views for tables.

Now I want the name of newly created view to be ‘Tablename\_V’ instead of .sql file name and Tablename can change at run time based on given parameter wile running the model.  
e.g  
dbt run -m Dynamic\_views --vars ‘table\_name : Customer’

I have already tried using {{ config( alias = “\_V”, ) }}, but its also kind of hard coded value only, i want something that will change at run time.

Can someone help me with this…
