Description

### What would you like to happen?

Hello

We see in new tech like Datastage Next gen or other a simple way to switch the workload from ETL to ELT

In Datastage as example , there is a check box in every pipeline that says execute as ETL (default) and you can change it as execute as ELT
if all component in the pipeline are compatible , ( sorts, filter, join , etc..) you can switch to ELT , in that case instead of executing the job in the engine, it will generate and execute a dbt code

we can use dbt , or just generate sql or whatever easier comes to your mind but i think that would be the golden feature to have

I'm just suggesting :)

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by reviewing the Pipelines component and how pipeline steps such as sorts, filters, and joins are classified for compatibility; done would require an agreed design for switching eligible pipelines from engine execution to generated and executed SQL or dbt code.
