ingestr recipes/Incremental loads by warehouseData Engineer

How do I append new rows when loading into BigQuery with ingestr?

Point ingestr at a BigQuery destination URI and pass the append strategy to append new rows. ingestr handles the schema and the incremental logic, so there is no custom merge code for BigQuery.

Command

ingestr ingest

Defined in

CLI

Works with

BigQuery + ingestr

What you get

append strategyauto schemaone command

How it works in code

$ ingestr ingest \
  --source-uri $SRC \
  --dest-uri bigquery://... \
  --incremental-strategy append

Run ingestr ingest and ingestr applies the append strategy into BigQuery on every run.

Move data with one command

Open source. Source URI in, destination URI out, incremental by default.
