What is a key reason the one model per source table rule improves dbt project maintainability?
AIt merges all source tables into one for simplicity.
BIt forces all transformations to be done in a single model.
CIt prevents the use of source tables in multiple models.
DIt isolates changes to one source table without affecting others.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand maintainability benefits

    Isolating each source table in its own model means changes affect only that model.
  2. Step 2: Evaluate options

    It isolates changes to one source table without affecting others. correctly states isolation of changes improves maintainability.
  3. Final Answer:

    It isolates changes to one source table without affecting others. -> Option D
  4. Quick Check:

    Isolation of models = easier maintenance [OK]
Quick Trick: Isolate source tables in models to limit impact of changes [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES
  • Thinking all transformations must be in one model
  • Believing source tables can't be reused
  • Assuming merging tables simplifies maintenance
