ingestr recipes/Incremental loads by warehouseData Engineer

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

Point ingestr at a MotherDuck 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 MotherDuck.

Command

Defined in

CLI

Works with

MotherDuck + ingestr

How it works in code

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