dap syncdb
Synchronize table data changes to a database.
Automatically retrieves incremental updates of a table, connects to your database, and applies these updates to the target table. This process is handled within a single atomic transaction, ensuring that, in case of an error, the data in your database remains consistent. Only tables that were created by dap initdb can be synchronized using dap syncdb.
The timestamp for performing incremental queries is stored in the dap_meta table, along with other metadata about synchronized tables. The dap_meta table is maintained by the DAP client library and should not be modified or dropped.
