vs upsert
method descriptions for load_method
. They sound the same to me...or maybe I need more coffee.
The method to use when loading data into the destination. append-only will always write all input records whether that records already exists or not.
Vs
upsert will update existing records and insert new records.
Does append-only
delete matching records and then just re-insert them, vs a traditional upsert?
2. How would (1) interact with hard_delete
? Wouldn't choosing overwrite
as the load method already act as a hard_delete? What about the other two options?
