Pre-Release 1.9.0

[tkiehn]

Bugfixes

• Fixes [BUG] Stage macro fails on databricks when hash_datatype is set to BINARY
• add ghost record for DATETIME on BigQuery
• fix oracle ghost records for timestamps
• fix fabric ghost records for datetime2

New Features

• Resolves [FEATURE] Extract multiple columns from one prejoined object
  More information about the syntax and an example here: 287 feature extract multiple columns from one prejoined object #297

• Modify macros to directly work with yaml metadata:
  Instead of having to use {%- set metadata_dict = fromyaml(yaml_metadata) -%} and then calling the macros with e.g. source_model=metadata_dict.get('source_model') for each parameter, it is now possible to define the yaml_metadata and directly pass it as parameter like so: ^

{%- set yaml_metadata -%}
source_models: stg_customer
hashkey: 'hk_customer_h'
business_keys: 
    - customer_bk
src_ldts: ldts
src_rsrc: rsrc
{%- endset -%}

{{ datavault4dbt.hub(yaml_metadata=yaml_metadata) }}
