ingestr recipes/Incremental loads by warehouseData Engineer

How do I upsert changed rows when loading into MotherDuck with ingestr?

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