### Database Compatibility
#### Database Compatibility
This package is compatible with either a **BigQuery**, **Snowflake**, **Redshift**, **PostgreSQL**, or **Databricks** destination.

### Databricks dispatch configuration
#### Databricks dispatch configuration
If you are using a Databricks destination with this package, you must add the following (or a variation of the following) dispatch configuration within your `dbt_project.yml`. This is required in order for the package to accurately search for macros within the `dbt-labs/spark_utils` then the `dbt-labs/dbt_utils` packages respectively.
```yml
dispatch:
- macro_namespace: dbt_utils
search_order: ['spark_utils', 'dbt_utils']

## Step 3: Define Netsuite.com or Netsuite2 Source
### Step 3: Define Netsuite.com or Netsuite2 Source
As of April 2022 Fivetran made available a new Netsuite connector which leverages the Netsuite2 endpoint opposed to the original Netsuite.com endpoint. This package is designed to run for either or, not both. By default the `netsuite_data_model` variable for this package is set to the original `netsuite` value which runs the netsuite.com version of the package. If you would like to run the package on Netsuite2 data, you may adjust the `netsuite_data_model` variable to run the `netsuite2` version of the package.
```yml
vars:
netsuite_data_model: netsuite2 #netsuite by default

### Step 4: Define database and schema variables
By default, this package runs using your destination and the `netsuite` schema. If this is not where your Netsuite data is (for example, if your netsuite schema is named `netsuite_fivetran`), add the following configuration to your root `dbt_project.yml` file:

### Step 5: Disable models for non-existent sources (Netsuite2 only)
It's possible that your Netsuite connector does not sync every table that this package expects. If your syncs exclude certain tables, it is because you either don't use that feature in Netsuite or actively excluded some tables from your syncs. To disable the corresponding functionality in the package, you must add the relevant variables. By default, all variables are assumed to be true. Add variables for only the tables you would like to disable:

### Passing Through Additional Fields
#### Passing Through Additional Fields
This package includes all source columns defined in the macros folder. You can add more columns using our pass-through column variables. These variables allow for the pass-through fields to be aliased (`alias`) and casted (`transform_sql`) if desired, but not required. Datatype casting is configured via a sql snippet within the `transform_sql` key. You may add the desired sql while omitting the `as field_name` at the end and your custom pass-though fields will be casted accordingly. Use the below format for declaring the respective pass-through variables:

### Override the data models variable
#### Override the data models variable
This package is designed to run **either** the Netsuite.com or Netsuite2 data models. However, for documentation purposes, an additional variable `netsuite_data_model_override` was created to allow for both data model types to be run at the same time by setting the variable value to `netsuite`. This is only to ensure the [dbt docs](https://fivetran.github.io/dbt_netsuite_source/) (which is hosted on this repository) is generated for both model types. While this variable is provided, we recommend you do not adjust the variable and instead change the `netsuite_data_model` variable to fit your configuration needs.
