New views in data shares to simplify Usage Group queries
- Date
Fernando BritoSoftware Engineer at SELECT
Previously, when writing a query against our data shares involving Usage Groups, the full Usage Group definition would be present in the query leading to increased query complexity and damaging readability.
with select start_day as day, sum_query_cost from ( select start_day as day, -- full usage group definition included case when warehouse_name in ('DBT_S', 'DBT_M') or user_name in ('SVC_DBT') then 'Analytics Engineering' when warehouse_name in ('Warehouse 1', 'Warehouse 2') or user_role in ('MARKETING_ANALYST') or database_name in ('MARKETING') then 'Marketing Team' when ... when ... else 'Uncategorized' end as usage_group, sum(sum_query_cost) as sum_query_cost from select_datashare.transformed.daily_workloads_usage_groups where start_day >= '2024-09-01' and start_day <= '2024-09-14' group by all ) where usage_group in ('Marketing Team') order by day desc nulls last
We've since created new views, which abstract away the Usage Group definition leading to simpler queries.
select start_day as day, sum(sum_query_cost) as sum_query_cost from select_datashare.transformed.daily_workloads_usage_groups where usage_group in ('Marketing Team') and start_day >= '2024-09-01' and start_day <= '2024-09-14' group by all order by day desc nulls last
