错误地使用dbt_utils.union_relations但不知道为什么/为什么？

如何解决错误地使用dbt_utils.union_relations但不知道为什么/为什么？

所以我是一个新的DBT用户，非常棒，但是我遇到了union_relations宏的问题。我正在向该函数提供关系，但是编译/运行查询未从该关系中找到任何列。

这是我正在运行的代码：

{{dbt_utils.union_relations(relations=[ref('transform_hist_ca_map_stu_obj_assessment'),ref('transform_hist_sc_map_stu_obj_assessment')])}}


)
select *
from conformed_obj_assessment
where student_assessment_identifier is not null
and assessment_identifier is not null
and identification_code is not null
and student_unique_id is not null
and performance_level is not null

这是我收到的错误： syntax error at or near "from" LINE 1706: from __dbt__CTE__transform_hist_ca_map_stu_obj_a... ^ compiled SQL at target/run/rally_dw/conformed/conformed_student_objective_assessment.sql

基本上，第一列是DBT生成的列，此后应该有关系中的列，但是由于某些原因，这些列没有被拉入。我想知道这是否是因为我想要的关系暂时退出，目前尚未实现，所以我想知道这是否引起了问题。这是编译后的SQL，CTE返回数据，但是由于某种原因，它没有被拉到最后一个CTE中。

            from __dbt__CTE__transform_hist_sc_map_stu_obj_assessment
        )

        


)
select *
from conformed_obj_assessment
where student_assessment_identifier is not null
and assessment_identifier is not null

and student_unique_id is not null

  );

任何想法都会非常感谢！

解决方法

union_relations宏依赖于知道存储在信息模式中的关系（表/视图）中的哪些列。由于此模型是临时模型，因此信息模式中没有任何记录，这就是为什么这样的SQL：

select

cast('__dbt__CTE__transform_hist_ca_map_stu_obj_assessment' as 
    varchar
) as _dbt_source_relation,from __dbt__CTE__transform_hist_ca_map_stu_obj_assessment

我注意到您使用的是dbt-utils的较早版本-尽管我们尚未解决此问题，但我们拥有improved the way this issue is handled（在v0.5.0中发布）。

较新版本的dbt-utils可以帮助您了解以下信息：

Compilation Error in model test_ephemeral (models/test_ephemeral.sql)

  The `union_relations` macro cannot be used with ephemeral models,as it relies on the information schema.

  `__dbt__CTE__my_ephemeral` is an ephemeral model. Consider making is a view or table instead.` is an ephemeral model. Consider making is a view or table instead.

因此，如（新）错误消息所暗示的那样，解决此问题的唯一方法是使上游模型成为视图或表。
