Supported update methods

• Change data capture (CDC)

  Landing or replication starts with a full load. The data is then kept up-to-date using incremental loading based on date fields.

• Reload and compare

  This extracts the entire data set from the source and reloads it to your target. You can schedule periodic reloads to keep the data up-to-date.
