- fct_cot_positioning: quote Swap__Positions_Short_All and Swap__Positions_Spread_All (CSV uses double underscore; DuckDB preserves header names exactly) - fct_cot_positioning: quote Report_Date_as_YYYY-MM-DD (dashes preserved in header) - fct_coffee_prices: quote "Adj Close" (space in CSV header) - openmeteo/execute.py: skip API call in backfill when all daily files already exist (_count_existing_files pre-check prevents 429 rate limit on re-runs) - dev_run.sh: open browser as admin@beanflows.coffee instead of pro@ Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Materia SQLMesh Transform Layer
Data transformation pipeline using SQLMesh and DuckDB, implementing a 3-layer architecture.
Quick Start
# From repo root
# Plan changes (dev environment)
uv run sqlmesh -p transform/sqlmesh_materia plan
# Apply to production
uv run sqlmesh -p transform/sqlmesh_materia plan prod
# Run model tests
uv run sqlmesh -p transform/sqlmesh_materia test
# Format SQL
uv run sqlmesh -p transform/sqlmesh_materia format

3-Layer Data Model

├── ice_aging/ ← ICE monthly aging report
└── ice_stocks_by_port/ ← ICE historical EOM by port

Layer responsibilities
staging/ — PSD only: reads landing CSVs directly via @psd_glob(), joins seed lookup tables, casts types, deduplicates. Uses INCREMENTAL_BY_TIME_RANGE (ingest_date derived from filename path).
seeds/ — Static lookup tables (commodity codes, attribute codes, unit of measure) loaded from seeds/*.csv. Referenced by staging.
foundation/ — All other sources (prices, COT, ICE): reads landing data (e.g. CSVs) directly via glob macros, casts types, deduplicates. Uses INCREMENTAL_BY_TIME_RANGE. Also holds dim_commodity (the cross-source identity mapping).
serving/ — Analytics-ready aggregates consumed by the web app via analytics.duckdb. Pre-computes moving averages, COT indices, MoM changes. These are the only tables the web app reads.
Why no raw layer?
Landing files are immutable and content-addressed — the landing directory is the audit trail. A SQL raw layer would just duplicate file bytes into DuckDB with no added value. The first SQL layer reads directly from landing.
Environment Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
LANDING_DIR |
data/landing |
Root of the landing zone |
DUCKDB_PATH |
local.duckdb |
DuckDB file (SQLMesh exclusive write access) |
The web app reads from a separate analytics.duckdb via export_serving.py.
