Configuring dbt-cratedb2

For CrateDB-specific configuration, please refer to CrateDB configs.

CrateDB is compatible with PostgreSQL, so its dbt adapter strongly depends on dbt-postgres, documented at PostgreSQL profile setup.

CrateDB targets are configured exactly the same way, see also PostgreSQL configuration, with just a few things to consider which are special to CrateDB. Relevant details are outlined at using dbt with CrateDB, which also includes up-to-date information.

Profile configuration​

CrateDB targets should be set up using a configuration like this minimal sample of settings in your profiles.yml file.

~/.dbt/profiles.yml
cratedb_analytics:
  target: dev
  outputs:
    dev:
      type: cratedb
      host: [clustername].aks1.westeurope.azure.cratedb.net
      port: 5432
      user: [username]
      pass: [password]
      dbname: crate         # Do not change this value. CrateDB's only catalog is `crate`.
      schema: doc           # Define the schema name. CrateDB's default schema is `doc`.
