Data source redacted?

[add944]

Hello, I found that data sources gets redacted when exporting to sql ; is there an option to turn this off so the SQL compiles externally?

update - confirmed this is only present in 0.1.0 hotfix v2

Thanks for flagging this, and for the clean repro.

This is intentional behavior, not a bug. The SQL shown in the Plan tab and produced by Copy / Export is display-only - it is never the SQL that actually runs (the execution path uses your real credentials directly). To avoid leaking plaintext secrets - passwords, tokens, API keys, connection strings - into a file or the clipboard, that display SQL has its secret values scrubbed and replaced with a redaction marker. That scrubbing was introduced recently and ships in the re-rolled v0.1.0-hotfix2 binaries, which is why you only see it in hotfix v2.

The downside you hit is real: the exported script no longer runs as-is against the external database. I would like to give you a proper opt-out. Two shapes I can add:

1. An explicit "include credentials" toggle (e.g. an env var like DUCKLE_EXPORT_INCLUDE_SECRETS=1) that emits the real values so the script runs unchanged, with a clear warning that the output then contains live credentials.
2. Named placeholders instead of the redaction marker (e.g. :password or ${DUCKLE_PG_PASSWORD}) so the script stays structurally valid and you substitute the secret at run time - safe to share.

A sensible default would be placeholders for everyone, with raw values available only behind the explicit toggle. Which fits your workflow better?

To be clear, this opt-out is not in the current build yet - leaving this open to track it. Thanks again.

Thank you for the above - that's clear now! And yes an env variable option would be great in future iterations so that the raw script can be exported if needed!
