dbt Engineering

Conventions

• SQL keywords: lowercase (select, from, where, join) — dbt convention, distinct from raw BigQuery SQL (uppercase).
• Identifiers: snake_case for models, columns, sources, macros.
• Language: Descriptions, schema.yml metadata, macro documentation, Jinja comments in English.
• Runtime: uv run dbt <command> — never bare dbt outside a uv-managed project.
