maindev/branchdev/branchDescription & motivation
Add
materializationparameter togenerate_base_modelto allow users to choose whether to materialize the model as a table or a view.Since base models ought not to do much transformation and provide a lightweight layer atop source tables, it is not uncommon to materialize them as views while having the default materialization for a project be tables, since heavier transformation models ought not be computed on the fly as they would be on a view.
This change would also make it possible to generate base models materialized as views in bulk using the dbt-generator package.
