dbt-gaussdbdws 1.0.1

dbt enables data analysts and engineers to transform their data using the same practices that software engineers use to build applications.

dbt is the T in ELT. Organize, cleanse, denormalize, filter, rename, and pre-aggregate the raw data in your warehouse so that it's ready for analysis.

dbt-gaussdbdws

The dbt-gaussdbdws package contains all of the code enabling dbt to work with huawei gaussdb or gaussdb(dws) database. For more information on using dbt with dbt-gaussdbdws, consult the docs.

Getting started

psycopg2-binary vs. psycopg2

By default, dbt-gaussdbdws installs psycopg2-binary. This is great for development, and even testing, as it does not require any OS dependencies; it's a pre-built wheel. However, building psycopg2 from source will grant performance improvements that are desired in a production environment. In order to install psycopg2, use the following steps:

if [[ $(pip show psycopg2-binary) ]]; then
    PSYCOPG2_VERSION=$(pip show psycopg2-binary | grep Version | cut -d " " -f 2)
    pip uninstall -y psycopg2-binary
    pip install psycopg2==$PSYCOPG2_VERSION
fi

This ensures the version of psycopg2 will match that of psycopg2-binary. Note: The native PostgreSQL driver cannot connect to GaussDB directly. If you need to use the PostgreSQL native driver, you must set password_encryption_type: 1 (compatibility mode supporting both MD5 and SHA256) to enable the PostgreSQL native driver.

GaussDB psycopg2

It is recommended to use the following approach: GaussDB uses SHA256 as the default encryption method for user passwords, while the PostgreSQL native driver defaults to MD5 for password encryption. Follow the steps below to prepare the required drivers and dependencies and load the driver.

1.You can obtain the required package from the release bundle. The package is named as: GaussDB-Kernel_<database_version>_<OS_version>_64bit_Python.tar.gz.

• psycopg2：Contains the psycopg2 library files.
• lib：Contains the psycopg2 library files.

2.Follow the steps below to load the driver:

# Extract the driver package, for example: GaussDB-Kernel_xxx.x.x_Hce_64bit_Python.tar.gz
tar -zxvf GaussDB-Kernel_xxx.x.x_Hce_64bit_Python.tar.gz

# Uninstall psycopg2-binary
pip uninstall -y psycopg2-binary

# Install psycopg2 by copying it to the site-packages directory of the Python installation using the root user
cp psycopg2 $(python3 -c 'import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])') -r

# Grant permissions
chmod 755 $(python3 -c 'import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])')/psycopg2 -R

# Verify the existence of the psycopg2 directory
ls -ltr $(python3 -c 'import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])') | grep psycopg2

# To add the psycopg2 directory to the $PYTHONPATH environment variable and make it effective
export PYTHONPATH=$(python3 -c 'import site; print(site.getsitepackages()[0])'):$PYTHONPATH

# For non-database users, you need to add the extracted lib directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

# To verify that the configuration is correct and there are no errors
