what is DBT data build tool:

DBT data build tool is designed to help you materialize select queries into tables or views with override or incremental on a different database or schema.

The idea is to take data sources and transform them into a data warehouse.
The first phase (that is not a part of DBT data build tool) is to bring the data into a staging area (schema for example).
When all the data you need to transform resides inside the staging (that can be from several sources for example CRM, ERP, call center, sensors…)
you can develop a select query with all the functionality of SQL,
that includes joins, calculations, windows functions, and more goodies in order to materialize it into another schema.
you can create complex transformations with dependencies between SQL code (reference) to form a data flow and use variables and configuration YAML to control the DBT data build tool Job.
You can also create tests like we do in programming.
