Resource type

This means the flags enable you to specify which types of resources to include or exclude when running the commands, instead of targeting specific resources.

Note

The --exclude-resource-type flag is only available in dbt version 1.8 and higher. If you're using older versions, this flag won't be available.

The available resource types are:

Example

Instead of targeting specific resources, use the --resource-flag or --exclude-resource-type flags to target all resources of a certain type: dbt build --resource-type RESOURCE_TYPE replacing RESOURCE_TYPE with the resource type you want to include.

For example, use the following command to include all snapshots from your dbt build process:
Usage
```
dbt build --resource-type snapshot
```
In this example, run the following command to include all saved queries with the --resource-type flag:
Usage
```
dbt build --resource-type saved_query
```
