Pull Request Overview
This PR adds support for the adapter.expand_target_column_types dbt method in SQLMesh. The feature allows expanding column types in a target table to match those of a source table when safe to do so (e.g., increasing varchar length).
Key changes:
- Implements the
expand_target_column_typesmethod in the adapter interface - Adds logic to compare column types and generate appropriate ALTER TABLE statements
- Updates documentation to reflect the newly supported method
