SQLMesh is a next-generation data transformation and modeling framework that is backwards compatible with dbt. It aims to be easy to use, correct, and efficient.

SQLMesh enables data teams to efficiently run and deploy data transformations written in SQL or Python.

It is more than just a dbt alternative.

Running this command will generate a unit test file in the tests/ folder: test_stg_payments.yaml

Runs a live query to generate the expected output of the model

sqlmesh create_test tcloud_demo.stg_payments --query tcloud_demo.seed_raw_payments "select * from tcloud_demo.seed_raw_payments limit 5"

# run the unit test
sqlmesh test
