Redshift int casting from varchar - how to force early evaluation order? Context: I have a varchar column in a segment event table that contains version numbers. Most of these are formatted nicely as X.Y.Z (major.minor.patch) where X, Y, and Z are integers. However, there are a few bad values, e.g. X.Y.Z-a, X.Y.Z-testing, etc. that I want to exclude entirely. I've con... (more) |

A: How do I pass field names containing dashes in dbt source yml file? There may be a better way to handle this but this eventually worked for me. It's necessary to add `quote: true` below each field name with a dash. E.g.: ``` tables: - name: mytable columns: - name: some-field-with-dash quote: true ``` I found this ... (more) |

How do I pass field names containing dashes in dbt source yml file? Working with dbt version 2 I'm trying to set up source checks but I'm running into an issue where the column names I'm setting tests for have dashes (e.g. `mytable.some-field-with-dash`). I currently get e.g. the following error when running dbt test: "Database Error in test testname: column "som... (more) |

How do I return ISO day of week in Redshift? I have a query summarizing some transaction data that I'd like to summarize by day of week. For my use case, I need to return weekdays formatted according to ISO 8601, so Monday must be the first day of the week and Sunday the last day of the week. Postgres/Redshift by default use Sunday as the f... (more) |

In this case I will be programming it, or at least a POC. My coding skills are rather low to mediocre, but I have a deep understanding of both the underlying data relationships and the overall business domain. I have not really determined how the business rules will be tested. We currently have a ver... (more) |

What is a good modern language to use for a Business Rules project? This is a rather vague question, but I'm trying to solve a specific problem and I'm inexperienced in most of the potential solutions, so please forgive the inherent ambiguity. I have access to a database with millions of historical financial transactions, with new transactions being added every d... (more) |

A: Site scope - draft proposal Is a question about importing data into Excel on topic (as seen here)? This seems like it would fall under "questions about computers or software that are not connected to software development/engineering" as Excel is a general purpose spreadsheet software, and the question does not address formulas ...

@Moshi It's very similar to an Excel pivot table - in general summarizing multi-dimensional data with rows and columns is called pivoting data. The row / column / values are called pivots. (more) |

A: How to pivot text? This seems to be looking at the outcome of a bracket in which successive players show an outcome. The table can be easily created by looking at each combination of players and listing them in the table using the index-match combination to find the correct value. Combinations that are not found in the... (more) |

Note that super-assigning directly to the global environment is generally frowned upon as each time the function is called it will change (or create) that global variable. It is preferable for the function to return the value and then it can be assigned - this way you don't have to worry about the gl... (more) |
