Is there a way to stop AirByte from emitting the AirByte-specific columns to CSV? I'm talking about, for example,

_airbyte_ab_id

and

_airbyte_emitted_at

. I am having to strip them out before I do data processing. I would prefer not writing special-case code for when I'm using AirByte versus other things. Any ideas?

Hey @Brian Castelli, thanks for the question. I’m not sure if there’s a way to exclude these tables as it’s part of an ELT best practice to always ensure that the raw data is accessible. We use those columns to follow that practice. You can read more about it here: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/blob/master/docs/understanding-airbyte/basic-normalization.md
