dbt-fabric-samdebruyn 1.12.2

The dbt adapter for Microsoft Fabric Lakehouses and Data Warehouses

dbt-fabric-samdebruyn

A maintained and extended fork of the dbt-fabric adapter, supporting both Microsoft Fabric compute engines:

• Fabric Data Warehouse — T-SQL, uses the mssql-python driver (type: fabric)
• Fabric Lakehouse — Spark SQL via Livy sessions (type: fabricspark)

The dbt-fabric adapter was originally developed by the community and later adopted by Microsoft. Sam Debruyn, one of the original authors and core contributors, continues development and maintenance through this fork. It has additional features and bugfixes compared to Microsoft's version, which has seen limited investment since adoption.

Quick start

Data Warehouse (T-SQL)

Drop-in replacement for the original dbt-fabric adapter:

pip install dbt-fabric-samdebruyn dbt-core

If you are migrating from the original adapter, all you need is pip uninstall dbt-fabric first.

Lakehouse (Spark SQL)

pip install dbt-fabric-samdebruyn[spark] dbt-core

This installs dbt-spark as a dependency. See the Lakehouse guide for configuration and usage.

Documentation

Full documentation for using dbt with Microsoft Fabric is available at dbt-fabric.debruyn.dev.

Code of Conduct

Everyone interacting in this project's codebases, issues, discussions, and related Slack channels is expected to follow the dbt Code of Conduct.
