Safe dbt development against BigQuery using test schema isolation. Prevents accidental production writes. Triggers: dbt, bigquery, test schema, production safety.

Restricted BigQuery dbt Environment

Prevent accidental writes to production schemas by temporarily adding schema='test' to model config during local development.

Workflow

1. Add schema='test' to model config (always at the top to minimize diff)

{{
  config(
    schema='test',
    materialized='incremental',
    ...
  )
}}

2. Verify with compile

uv run dbt compile --select <model_name> --profiles-dir ~/.dbt --no-use-colors

Confirm output contains test schema.

3. Run (REQUIRES user permission + test schema confirmation)

uv run dbt run --select <model_name> --profiles-dir ~/.dbt --no-use-colors
uv run dbt test --select <model_name> --profiles-dir ~/.dbt --no-use-colors

4. Remove schema='test' before committing

Verify with git diff that schema='test' is removed.

Hard Rules

  • NEVER commit with schema='test' included
  • NEVER run dbt run without schema='test' (production write risk)
  • ALWAYS get user permission before dbt run
