You can override these settings or specify additional ones in your meltano.yml by adding the settings key.

Please consider adding any settings you have defined locally to this definition on MeltanoHub by making a pull request to the YAML file that defines the settings for this plugin.

Add Record Metadata (add_record_metadata)

  • Environment variable: TARGET_ATHENA_ADD_RECORD_METADATA

(Default - False) Metadata columns add extra row level information about data ingestions, (i.e. when was the row read in source, when was inserted or deleted in snowflake etc.) Metadata columns are creating automatically by adding extra columns to the tables with a column prefix sdc. The column names are following the stitch naming conventions documented at https://www.stitchdata.com/docs/data-structure/integration-schemas#sdc-columns. Enabling metadata columns will flag the deleted rows by setting the _sdc_deleted_at metadata column. Without the add_record_metadata option the deleted rows from singer taps will not be recongisable in Snowflake.


Configure this setting directly using the following Meltano command:

meltano config target-athena set add_record_metadata [value]

Athena Database (athena_database)

  • Environment variable: TARGET_ATHENA_ATHENA_DATABASE
