SQL functions compatibility

split_part

There is no equivalent SQL function in Exasol for split_part.

listagg part_num

The SQL function listagg in Exasol does not support the num_part parameter.

Utilities shim package

In order to support packages like dbt-utils and dbt-audit-helper, we needed to create the shim package exasol-utils. In this shim package we need to adapt to parts of the SQL functionality that is not compatible with Exasol - e.g. when 'final' is being used which is a keyword in Exasol. Please visit Adaopter dispatch documentation of dbt-labs for more information.
