🌟 Notes:
Naming Conventions
Naming conventions in dbt help ensure consistency and clarity across your models. Here are some common best practices:
1. Model Types:
stg_: Prefix for staging models (e.g., stg_customers).
dim_: Prefix for dimension models (e.g., dim_customers).
fact_: Prefix for fact models (e.g., fact_orders).
2. Avoid Ambiguity:
Use clear, descriptive names for models and columns that convey the purpose of the data.
3. Use Underscores (_) Instead of Camel Case:
Instead of customerId, use customer_id.
4. Use Lowercase:
Keep everything lowercase for consistency (e.g., order_date, customer_name).
By following consistent naming conventions, your dbt project will be easier to read, maintain, and debug.
