Examples​

Supply your database and schema name for a source defined in a package​

version: 2

sources:
  - name: github
    overrides: github_source # deprecated in v1.10

    database: RAW
    schema: github_data

Configure your own source freshness for a source table in a package​

You can override configurations at both the source and the table level

  - name: github
    overrides: github_source # deprecated in v1.10
