#  Export: dbt Sources

Converts the data contract to a dbt `sources` YAML definition.

{/* AUTOGENERATED EXAMPLE: do not edit by hand; regenerate with the update script. */}

```bash
datacontract export dbt-sources orders.odcs.yaml
```

Running this against the [example `orders` contract](https://github.com/datacontract/datacontract-cli/blob/main/examples/orders/orders.odcs.yaml) produces (excerpt):

```yaml

As with [`dbt-models`](./dbt-models.md), selecting a server maps logical types to that server's data types; otherwise `snowflake` is used.

All options: **[`datacontract export dbt-sources`](../commands/export/dbt-sources.md)**.
