Hi all,
I’m new to dbt and trying to incorporate my data cleansing and preparation using the CTE workflow.
My problem is that MySQL does not support updating CTE’s (as far as I can tell), so I’m curious if there is a best practice or a work-around to navigate this issue? If not, im headed into some very difficult feature engineering.
I am starting to look towards temp tables as a possible work around, but I think this breaks the dbt workflow. I’m really hoping I dont have to scrap my whole database and move to postgres.
Any tips would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards from a data noob
