Problem
materialized views are currently not support for Snowflake. rather, dynamic tables were implemented, to be more consistent with other provider's concept of materialized views. however, there are still valid use cases for MVs, and so I figured it take a shot at implementing them.
Solution
this is my first attempt at contributing to dbt, so forgive me if this is not a great solution. i essentially reused the logic for views, with some minor changes to support the materialized version. i also added a check to the
SnowflakeRelation
object to see if a relation was an MV, for support within the macros.Checklist
