Add additional database drivers

If you are using Great Expectations to validate data in a database or warehouse, you might need to install the appropriate drivers. Common options are supported by Great Expectations as pip extras, and any additional packages you may want can be added too by configuring a custom pip_url for the great_expectations utility:

Find the great_expectations plugin definition in your meltano.yml project file

Update the pip_url property to include the desired additional extras and packages:

utilities:
- name: great_expectations
  variant: great-expectations
  pip_url: great_expectations[redshift] awscli

Re-install the plugin:

meltano install utility great_expectations

The next time you run Great Expectations, you will be able to connect to a new type of database, like Redshift in the example.
