Is there a way to configure our preferred field name ? #214
Description
Describe the feature
While using dbt-meshify it update in place our YAML and update the types for each columns to the "good" one.
We currently use NUMERIC(38,0) and all of those got converted to number which is the same thing but which might create confusion. Same for VARCHAR which is converted to text
Is there a way we could configure our preferred field type name in such case?
Describe alternatives you've considered
Create a configuration file or pass in an argument that allow us to specific which type of name we want to numbers and string which might have multiple names in some warehouse.
For example in Snowflake INT , INTEGER , BIGINT , SMALLINT , TINYINT , BYTEINT, DECIMAL , DEC , NUMERIC, NUMBER are all synonyms. but we might have enforce the use of 1 type in our DBT models. It would be interesting that the YAML file describe the name we choose for all our models.
