easy📝 Syntax Q12 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Review version pinning syntax in packages.yml
To pin exactly one version, use the version string with the exact version number in quotes, like "1.0.0".Step 2: Analyze options
- package: dbt-labs/dbt_utils version: ">=1.0.0,<2.0.0" uses a range, not exact pinning. - package: dbt-labs/dbt_utils version: "=1.0.0" uses an invalid syntax with '='. - package: dbt-labs/dbt_utils version: "~>1.0.0" uses a pessimistic operator (~>), which allows patch updates.Final Answer:
- package: dbt-labs/dbt_utils version: "1.0.0" -> Option BQuick Check:
Exact version pin = "1.0.0" [OK]
Quick Trick: Exact pin uses just the version string in quotes [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Using '=' before version number incorrectly
- Confusing range syntax with exact pin
- Using pessimistic operator when exact pin needed
