dbt-ibmdb2

This plugin ports dbt functionality to IBM DB2.

This is an experimental plugin:

• We have not tested it extensively
• Only basic tests are implemented
• Compatibility with other dbt packages (like dbt_utils) is only partially tested

Please read these docs carefully and use at your own risk. Issues welcome!
