Update debug task to make the debug query an adapter method
See original GitHub issueThe existing code is here: https://github.com/fishtown-analytics/dbt/blob/fa8a4f2020655c60bdb66270616f5654e168a729/core/dbt/task/debug.py#L337
But that won’t work on some third party adapters. One example is Oracle, which requires a from clause in any select statement.
Instead, this should be an adapter method on the base adapter, named debug_query() that takes no arguments. Then adapter plugins will be able to override the method with an appropriate debug method. For example, on Oracle, it might be select 1 from dual.

@jtcohen6 it looks like on oracle, selects require a
FROMclause and their solution to the obvious problems that causes is a special identifier nameddualthat’s globally accessible.If that is the case, we probably should have an
adapter.debug_query()method that defaults toadapter.execute("select 1 as id"). Then the author of the oracle plugin (or other databases with similar restrictions) can add their oracle-only special case behavior.@zmac12 I think you had the right start in #2811, I’ll comment over there
