Databricks has introduced Query Tags, a new feature in public preview designed to enhance granular usage attribution for dbt pipelines. This feature allows data teams to automatically inject metadata or add custom tags to every query generated by their pipelines. These tags are recorded in `system.query.history`, enabling easier cost attribution, performance debugging, and workload monitoring through simple SQL queries. The dbt-databricks adapter natively supports Query Tags, offering auto-injected tags for per-model visibility without configuration, profile-level tags for project-wide attribution, and model-level tags for more specific control. AI
