This command makes use of the `clone` materialization: -- If your data platform supports zero-copy cloning of tables, and this model exists as a table in the source environment, dbt will create it in your target environment as a clone +- If your data platform supports zero-copy cloning of tables (Snowflake, Databricks, or BigQuery), and this model exists as a table in the source environment, dbt will create it in your target environment as a clone. - Otherwise, dbt will create a simple pointer view (`select * from` the source object) - By default, `dbt clone` will not recreate pre-existing relations in the current target. To override this, use the `--full-refresh` flag. - You may want to specify a higher number of [threads](/docs/running-a-dbt-project/using-threads) to decrease execution time since individual clone statements are independent of one another.
