Hi Blake,

Dbt is a transformation tool, so the generated documentation will apply only to the tables that it creates. It can’t document your entire database like SqlDBM can. However, it can persist descriptions as DDL comments.

Using the reverse engineering feature in SqlDBM, you can automatically pick up the table and its comments generated by dbt and add them to your diagrams and data dictionary.
