The query surface is the set of tables you are expected to read from. Internal models are intermediate and staging steps kept for lineage and debugging; treat them as implementation detail that may change.

How to read these pages

  • Schema and Table are the identifiers to use in SQL.
  • Grain lists the columns that uniquely identify one row. Include every grain column in a join, or the result fans out.
  • Type is the column's data type as the warehouse declares it.
  • Key marks a column that forms part of the primary key.
  • Terminology names the value set that governs a coded column, and links to it.
  • Constraints are the rules the warehouse enforces on the column.

Terminology

Coded columns are paired with reference value sets that translate a code into a readable description.
