## Applying Model Tags

### Database / Schema level tags

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.

```
{{ set_database_tag_value('SOME_DATABASE_TAG_KEY','SOME_DATABASE_TAG_VALUE') }}
{{ set_schema_tag_value('SOME_SCHEMA_TAG_KEY','SOME_SCHEMA_TAG_VALUE') }}
```

### Model tags

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 DBT run. 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__ez_nft_sales.sql
```

### Querying for existing tags on a model in snowflake

```
select *
from table(flow.information_schema.tag_references('flow.core.ez_nft_sales', 'table'));
```
