So, in principle, how is this different approach than DBT?

dbt is a tool for defining and orchestrating in-database transformation jobs. Typically you write SQL statements to define the transformations (plus some template language to pull in additional context if needed).

PRQL is an alternative language for writing queries which compiles to SQL. There is a dbt plugin which presumably allows you to define the transformations in PRQL instead of SQL, while everything is still orchestrated by dbt.
