Description
Describe the bug
We need to change the name of a column in order to be loaded into Snowflake, from AzureDB. The column original name is VALUE, this generates a SQL error and at the same time is in conflict with the auto generated metadata column. We are attempting to use the alias option in the column definition stage as documented in the snowflake.yml example
Steps to reproduce
by running dbt run-operation stage_external_sources with the source defined as follows in the .YML file:
...
columns:
- name: VALUE
quoted: true / false (tested both options)
alias: AMOUNT
data_type: TEXT
...
Expected results
Expected result is for the command to run successfully and load the VALUE data in NEW_VALUE column
Actual results
Command execution fails with error
18:01:44 Encountered an error while running operation: Database Error
091311 (42601): SQL compilation error:
'VALUE' cannot be used as a column name for external tables.
When the .YML source file is built it prompts the warning that property is not allowed
Is there an option to rename a column for AzureDB?
