Dbt manifest import and new virtual relationship types provide even more visual semantics to customize your data models. Also, our Forward Engineering screen gets a fresh new look to make it more intuitive and user-friendly. Read more about dbt manifest import here.

Changes with impact on existing DDL/API functions

As file format assignment on objects has been deprecated in Snowflake, SqlDBM projects will make adjustments across the tool accordingly. These changes do not affect the file format (database) object, which is and will continue to be supported.

•  Snowflake. Remove file format assignment on objects
  • Remove the file format dropdown from object properties
  • Do not include file format assignment on objects in Forward Engineering
  • Skip (i.e., do not parse and store) file format assignment on objects in Reverse Engineering.

Required action: none. Any existing file format assignments will no longer appear in the UI or in the DDL generated on the FE. Objects with file format assignments will appear as changed in git due to this difference.
