{% if is_incremental() %}
    {# Note:

            select date(max(updated_on))
            from {{ this }}
            where rsrc not in ('ERROR', 'SYSTEM')

Hi @yedu1985 Thanks for this. We're actually currently working on new loading features, this being one of them. v0.10.x releases are bringing Quality of life improvements for loading, the first of which was solving the long-standing limitation on Satellite loading.

In the meantime I recommend you look at incremental predicates, a dbt feature that already exists to do just this!
