RPC

dagster_dbt.create_dbt_rpc_run_sql_solid(name: str, output_def: Optional[dagster.core.definitions.output.OutputDefinition] = None, **kwargs) → Callable[source]

This function is a factory which constructs a solid that will copy the results of a SQL query run within the context of a dbt project to a pandas DataFrame.

Any kwargs passed to this function will be passed along to the underlying @solid decorator. However, note that overriding config_schema, input_defs, and required_resource_keys is not allowed and will throw a DagsterInvalidDefinitionError.

If you would like to configure this solid with different config fields, you could consider using @composite_solid to wrap this solid.

Parameters
  • name (str) – The name of this solid.

  • output_def (OutputDefinition, optional) – The OutputDefinition for the solid. This value should always be a representation of a pandas DataFrame. If not specified, the solid will default to an OutputDefinition named “df” with a DataFrame dagster type.

Returns

Returns the constructed solid definition.

Return type

SolidDefinition
