v0.16.0 dbt_shopify

This release includes the following updates:

Bug Fixes

• Removed incremental logic in the following end models (PR #97):
  • shopify__discounts
  • shopify__order_lines
  • shopify__orders
  • shopify__transactions
• Incremental strategies were removed from these models due to potential inaccuracies from incremental runs. For instance, the new_vs_repeat field in shopify__orders could produce incorrect results during incremental runs. To ensure consistency, this logic was removed across all warehouses. If the previous incremental functionality was valuable to you, please consider opening a feature request to revisit this approach.

Upstream Under-the-Hood Updates from shopify_source Package

• (Affects Redshift only) Creates new shopify_union_data macro to accommodate Redshift's treatment of empty tables.
  • For each staging model, if the source table is not found in any of your schemas, the package will create a table with one row with null values for Redshift destinations. There will be no change in behavior in non-Redshift warehouses.
  • This is necessary as Redshift will ignore explicit data casts when a table is completely empty and materialize every column as a varchar. This throws errors in downstream transformations in the shopify package. The 1 row will ensure that Redshift will respect the package's datatype casts.

Documentation

• Added Quickstart model counts to README. (PR #96)
• Corrected references to connectors and connections in the README. (PR #96)
