Macros

clean_workspace

Adapted from dbt_workspace to work on databricks.

dbt run-operation clean_workspace

Databricks / Spark

Uses the show schemas syntax to list schemas that match a regex pattern.

Args:

• dry_run (bool, default True):
  • Dry run flag. If True, will simply print out matching schemas. If False, will drop matching schemas.
• schemas_like (string, default None):
  • Case-insensitive regex pattern to search for. Note that with databricks, this is a regex, so to match a schema with the name dbt_cloud_pr_123, we would use the string "dbt_cloud_pr*" and not "dbt_cloud_pr%".

Examples:

dbt run-operation clean_workspace --args '{schema_like: "dbt_cloud_pr*"}'
# Prints out schemas that match the regex pattern above - e.g. "dbt_cloud_pr_123", "dbt_cloud_pr_test_123".

dbt run-operation clean_workspace --args '{schema_like: "dbt_cloud_pr*", dry_run: False}'
# Drops schemas that match the regex pattern above.
