# sqrl build

> Build the Virtual Data Lake (VDL) for the project

The `build` command executes buildtime models and seeds to create or update the project's Virtual Data Lake (VDL).

## Usage

```bash wrap theme={null}
sqrl build [options]
```

## Options

In addition to the [global options](/references/cli/index#global-options), this command supports the following options:

| Option                      | Description                                |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| `-f`, `--full-refresh`      | Drop all tables before building            |
| `-s`, `--select MODEL_NAME` | Build a single static model instead of all |

## Examples

Build all models:

```bash theme={null}
sqrl build
```

Build from scratch:

```bash theme={null}

```

Build a single static model:

```bash theme={null}

```
