Build
Register Source Data
Bring source data into the right catalog, schema, and ownership structure before downstream work begins.
Use this guide when you are establishing the foundation for downstream models, assets, and products.
Inputs
- source files or external locations
- the target catalog and schema
- a builder or admin path with create permissions
Flow
- choose the catalog and schema that match ownership and visibility
- create or register the source table or view
- document owner, comment, and intended usage
- apply baseline grants before wider discovery
- confirm the object is queryable through Duck
What Good Looks Like
- the source exists in a stable namespace
- builders know who owns it
- consumers do not accidentally query raw, sensitive, or unstable objects without context
