Handling Unpredictable JSON Keys with Python and Jinja: A Powerful Approach for dbt Users
Handling Unpredictable JSON Keys with Python and Jinja When working with data that has arbitrary and unpredictable keys, extracting specific values can be a challenge. In this post, we’ll explore how to use Python and Jinja templating in dbt to extract desired values from JSON-like data. Introduction to the Problem The problem at hand is that the JSON blob column in our Redshift table contains data with arbitrary top-level keys. The structure of each JSON object is consistent within itself, but the top-level keys are different across objects.

Inhibiting Copy on Modify for Unqualified Data Tables in "R" to Preserve Behavior Only for Certain Rows
Inhibiting Copy on Modify for Unqualified Data Tables in “R” Introduction In R, when a data table is passed as an argument to a function, it can lead to unexpected behavior if the function modifies the original data. This phenomenon is known as “copy on modify” (CoM). However, in some cases, we might want to preserve this behavior only for certain subsets of rows. In this article, we’ll explore how to achieve this.
