Tabul - Data Update Command

About

data update is a Tabul command that supports the update data operation where the data to update are defined in a source data resource.

This is an alias command of the data transfer command where the transfer-operation option has been set to update.

Prerequisites

  • The source should have data for the target primary key column or a unique column
  • The target should have a primary key column or a unique column

Syntax

tabul data update -h
Tabul data update
=================

Update one or more data resources with other data resources.

Note: This is an alias command to the `transfer` command with the `update` transfer operation.



Examples
--------

 1 - To update the result of the Sql query `query_11.sql` into the Sql table `analytics`, you would execute


        tabul data update (query_11.sql)@sqlite analytics@sqlite


 2 - To update the file `foo.csv` into the `sqlite` table `foo`, you would execute


        tabul data update foo.csv foo@sqlite
