Hi, is there a quick way to check if a tap supports incremental upload or not ? and also how can i change the strategy used ?

If the tap supports state it should support incremental key-based loading. In Meltano you can dump the state messages to stdout or a file using --dump=state option for debugging purposes https://meltano.com/docs/integration.html#incremental-replication-state

And how to find if a tap supports state ? i tried to look for it in meltano hub for tap-postgres for example but couldn't find it.

@hicham_rahj - In most cases, I think you can safely assume the tap does support STATE (and therefor incremental replication). There are very few which do not. For instance, tap-postgres definitely does. 👍
That said, I think we could improve the discoverability for this and the documentation on the hub - sorry it is not better documented.
