Database and schema tags are applied via the `add_database_or_schema_tags` macro. These tags are inherited by their downstream objects. To add/modify tags call the appropriate tag set function within the macro.
To add/update a model's snowflake tags, add/modify the `meta` model property under `config`. Only table level tags are supported at this time via DBT.
```
{{ config(
...,
meta={
'database_tags':{
'table': {
'PURPOSE': 'SOME_PURPOSE'
}
}
},
...
) }}
```
By default, model tags are pushed to Snowflake on each load. You can disable this by setting the `UPDATE_SNOWFLAKE_TAGS` project variable to `False` during a run.
```
dbt run --var '{"UPDATE_SNOWFLAKE_TAGS":False}' -s models/core/core__fact_blocks.sql
```
### Querying for existing tags on a model in snowflake
```
select *
from table(arbitrum.information_schema.tag_references('arbitrum.core.fact_blocks', 'table'));
