OPT_INSERT_UPDATE_DELETE_BY_ID_AS_SWAP
Target database: Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, Azure SQL Database, Azure Synapse SQL, Microsoft Fabric, Google BigQuery, Databricks SQL
OPT_INSERT_UPDATE_DELETE_BY_ID_AS_SWAP is a load option that enables 1-1 loading with key
See also:
Usage
OPT_INSERT_UPDATE_DELETE_BY_ID_AS_SWAP: Boolean
Default: false
Notes
OPT_INSERT_UPDATE_DELETE_BY_ID_AS_SWAP can be used in table loads that have a single entity mapping (i.e. one source entity) and attributes with following attribute types defined:
DV_LOAD_TIME
either DV_HASHKEY or DV_REFERENCING_HASHKEY
DV_UPDATE_TIME (optional)
Hint: Can be used also with Run ID logic.
Examples
Insert, Update, Delete Load by ID as SWAP option
This example presents how an entity load would work with this logic enabled.
Assumptions:
Data is staged to table stage.stg_taxi_zone_lookup and it will be loaded to tgt.latest_entries
Feature is enabled for the load by setting option:
OPT_INSERT_UPDATE_DELETE_BY_ID_AS_SWAP: true
