 Due to the nature of Trino, not all core `dbt` functionality is supported.
 The following features of dbt are not implemented in `dbt-trino`:
 - Snapshot
-- Incremental models
 
 Also, note that upper or mixed case schema names will cause catalog queries to fail. 
 Please only use lower case schema names with this adapter.
