snapshot_name

Description

The name of a snapshot, which is used when selecting from a snapshot using the ref function

This name must not conflict with the name of any other "refable" resource (models, seeds, other snapshots) defined in this project or package.

The name does not need to match the file name. As a result, snapshot filenames do not need to be unique.

Examples

Name a snapshot order_snapshot

To select from this snapshot in a downstream model:

select * from {{ ref('orders_snapshot') }}
