Tabul data concat
=================

Concatenate data resources



Examples
--------

 1 - To concatenate all `log*.txt` files in the current directory to a `log` table located in sqlite, you would execute


        tabul data concat log*.txt@cd log@sqlite


 2 - In the current directory to concatenate the files `visit1.csv` and `visit2.csv` to a `visits.csv` file, you would execute


        tabul data concat visit1.csv visit2.csv visits.csv

  Arguments:

    <source-selector...>                                          One or more data selectors that select the data resources to concatenate

    <target-data-uri>                                             The target data uri that defines the receiving target data resource (No templating is allowed)


  Cross Data Transfer Options:

    -bs,--buffer-size <buffer-size>                               defines the size of the memory buffer between the source and target threads

    -mdu,--metrics-data-uri <metrics-data-uri>                    defines a target data uri where the data metrics should be exported

    -out,--output-type <output-type>                              The resource that is passed as output

    -sfs,--source-fetch-size <source-fetch-size>                  defines the size of the network message from the source to fetch the data

    -so,--source-operation <source-operation>                     defines the data operation (drop or truncate) on the source after transfer. Note: A `move` operation will drop the source.
