[V1.3.latest] Added ability OPTION clause when creating a table

[djagoda881]

In some cases, users need to use the OPTION() clause in their dbt models that appears in SQL Server. The problem is that dbt does not provide this capability. A good reproducing example is the recursive code below, fetching data from the database.
test table calendar containing a wide range of dates

WITH cte AS (SELECT [date] FROM calendar WHERE DATE = '2020-01-01' UNION ALL SELECT DATEADD(day, 1, [date]) as [date] FROM cte WHERE DATEADD(day, 1, [date]) < '2021-01-01' -- < '2020-02-28' ) SELECT * FROM cte OPTION (MAXRECURSION 0);

In the case of the condition < '2021-01-01', the recursion exceeds 100. Therefore, if you do not use the OPTION clause (MAXRECURSION 0), in this scenario, the recursion will stop at 100, not retrieving all the data in the query. However, in the case of table creation, an error will occur. MAXRECURSIONis just one example; there are many more options.

The use of the option clause in dbt. Below, I'm providing code that demonstrates the use of the option parameter in dbt.

{{ config({ "materialized": 'table', "option_clause": "MAXRECURSION 0" }) }} WITH cte AS (SELECT [date] FROM calendar WHERE DATE = '2020-01-01' UNION ALL SELECT DATEADD(day, 1, [date]) as [date] FROM cte WHERE DATEADD(day, 1, [date]) < '2021-01-01' -- < '2020-02-28' ) SELECT * FROM cte
