✨ dbt-fabric adapter compatibility

elementary-data/elementary#1742

Worth Mentioning - T-SQL nuances

• T-SQL does not support boolean data types. As a workaround, this implementation uses the bit data type to reimplement boolean functionality.
• Generic STDDEV macro. - stDev vs. stDDev
• DATE/TIME formatting.
• Explicit GROUP BY clauses.

Our Environment

We are currently running it in a production environment with ~200 models and tests for >1 month
dbt version: 1.9.1
Fabric version: 1.8.7
We use this setup to write dbt_* tables into the data warehouse.
A custom PowerBI report is built on top of these tables.
Note: We do not use the Elementary CLI, so this functionality has not been tested in this setup.

Limitations/Bugs

• Incorrect row_inserted Count - This is a known limitation of the dbt-fabric connector.

• Temporary Views Not Being Deleted - Observed that the initial temporary views are not getting deleted. Root cause is unknown.

Integration Tests

Unfortunately, I was unable to set up a testing environment for integration tests.
Would love some support on this one... 😊

I’m currently working with Microsoft Fabric and wanted to check on the status of this PR. It would be great to use Elementary with Fabric. @999999333 🙏

@rgargour It's up to elementary team. I did my part 🙃

Hey! This contribution was an incredible starting point but it required some more work on our side, which is now in lower prioritization.
If @999999333 or anyone else here would want to work with us to finish this, we'll be happy to help with the contribution!
