If your incremental model logic has changed, the transformations on your new rows of data may diverge from the historical transformations, which are stored in your target table. In this case, you should rebuild your incremental model. -To force dbt to rebuild the entire incremental model from scratch, use the `--full-refresh` flag on the command line. This flag will cause dbt to drop the existing target table in the database before rebuilding it for all-time. +To force dbt to rebuild the entire incremental model from scratch, use the `--full-refresh` flag on the command line.
