upgrade to support dbt-core v1.2.0

[dataders]

We've just published the release cut of dbt-core 1.2.0, dbt-core 1.2.0rc1 (PyPI | GitHub release notes).

dbt-labs/dbt-core#5468 is an open discussion with more detailed information, and dbt-labs/dbt-core#5474 is for keeping track of the communities progress on releasing 1.2.0

Below is a checklist of work that would enable a successful 1.2.0 release of your adapter.

• migrate necessary cross-db macros into adapter and ensure they're tested accordingly
• remove any copy-and-pasted materialization (if your adapter inherits from another adapter)
• add new basic tests BaseDocsGenerate and BaseDocsGenReferences
• consider checking and testing support for Python 3.10

dbt-labs/dbt-core#5432 might make it into the second release cut in the next week, in which case, you'll also might want to:

• implement method and tests for connection retry logic

Here's a branch with some WIP. Time is scarce for me at the moment, so it may take me a while to work through the failing cross-db macro tests. If anyone wants to help, they're welcome to submit PRs into that branch! 😅

#24

Looks like there have been two RC releases. Can a final version of v1.2.0 be tagged?

I haven't worked on this in a few months, but I think there's two areas remaining to be done:

• unimplemented macros:
  • implement datediff macro #26
  • implement date_trunc macro #27
  • implement lastday macro #28
  • implement listagg macro #29
• get data types to be consistent throughout: get all the data types to be consistent #30

The latest 1.2.0a3 release should be working in a basic way with dbt-core 1.2.x but it'd be good to resolve these before a final release.

Anyone is welcome to help if they have the time, energy, and know-how!

I think I got a handle on the type issues (see #36).

I may just give up on those macros and do a 1.2.0 release. The date-related ones are of somewhat limited use because date types aren't enforced in SQLite anyway.
