Turns out we can use liquid in the create_process part of the derived table for this!
We use this in the first sql_step to define the name of the PDT to generate.
view: yesterday_data {
derived_table: {
explore_source: order_items {
column: pk2_created_date { field: order_items.created_date}
column: pk2_brand { field: products.brand }
column: total_orders {field: order_items.count }
filters: {
field: order_items.created_date
value: "1 days ago for 1 day"
}
}
}
}
explore: table_date {}
view: table_date {
derived_table: {
datagroup_trigger: incremental_pdt_default_datagroup
create_process: {
sql_step:
CREATE TABLE db_scratch.table_{{'now' | date: "%s" | minus : 86400 | date: "%Y%m%d" }}
AS ${yesterday_data.SQL_TABLE_NAME} ;;
sql_step: CREATE TABLE ${SQL_TABLE_NAME} AS SELECT 1 as one ;;
