Builds Data Vault 2 models in dbt with the datavault4dbt package — staging, hubs, links, satellites, and business-vault entities — using the YAML-metadata macro pattern with correct hashkeys, hashdiffs, naming, and materializations. Use when creating or editing datavault4dbt models, setting up a raw vault, choosing which Data Vault entity to use, or configuring the package's hashing and global variables.

# Using datavault4dbt
[datavault4dbt](https://github.com/ScalefreeCOM/datavault4dbt) is a dbt package that generates Data
Vault 2.0 SQL from compact YAML metadata. You write a `{%- set yaml_metadata -%}` block and call a
macro; the package generates the insert-only loading logic, hashing, and high-water-mark optimization.
**Core principle:** every model is *staging-driven*. The `stage` macro computes the hashkeys and
hashdiffs once; hubs, links, and satellites then just reference those pre-computed columns. Get staging
right and the raw vault falls into place.
## When to use
- Building or editing datavault4dbt models: staging, hubs, links, satellites, PITs, snapshot control.
- Setting up a raw vault from flat source tables.
