Describe alternatives you've considered
Rolling my own custom dbt package

DONE: #20

[drernie]

FYI, I discovered an acceptable workaround that allows me to run the existing module within my project

1. Overriding the variables in dbt_project.yml

vars:
    salesforce_schema: "salesforce"
    salesforce_database: ""

2. Copying the macro for datediff into macros into this project

{% macro databricks__datediff(first_date, second_date, datepart) %}

    DATEDIFF(
        cast({{second_date}} as date),
        cast({{first_date}} as date)
    )

{% endmacro %}
