Want to build a reliable, modern data architecture without the mess?
Here’s a free checklist to help you → https://bit.ly/kds-checklist

With dbt Core, you'll likely find yourself developing in a local editor, then copying compiled code into your database server to look at the results.

But as of version 1.5, there's a new command called "show" that allows you to run queries (and see results) directly from your terminal.

When would you use this?
Preview results before deploying (results do not get materialized)
Investigate a test failure
Review table records without changing tools/screens

In this video, I want to show you how to use this command so you can be more efficient with your development and avoid this hopping back and forth.

Thank you for watching!
