I am relatively new to DBT and trying my hands on dbt-athena. I am trying to use it with my exiting DBT repo. Can I do it ? Can I add dbt-athena into my requirements.txt ? Is there any example of some repo which is using dbt-athena?

Thanks

Hey @smitthakkar1,

• You can use the adapter with an existing dbt repository, though it is highly likely you will need to update your sources (to account for changes to table names) and there is also a good chance some of your SQL code may not directly compatible with Athena / Presto SQL, this will depends on what database you were utilising before.
• This repository is not currently on PyPi but you can use pip to directly install from GibHub. Simply add git+https://github.com/Tomme/dbt-athena.git to your requirements.txt
• I am not aware of any dbt-athena specific example repositories that are publicly accessible however they will be 99% the same as a typical dbt project. After you account for feature limitations, e.g. no snapshots
