dependency tree - table naming alternative #301

Closed frans-snyders closed 1 year ago

frans-snyders commented 3 years ago

The dependency tree only displays the table names in the overview. This can be confusing as we have several projects and datasets in BigQuery. Options: 1) Adding the "database" filed also to the dependency tree as per the config definition 2) Adding a custom label (also global unique) to the config definition and using only that in the dependency tree

For option 2 this can be helpful when referencing tables in scripts also ( ref function )
