delta live tables trigger

Question

hello,
I have created a delta live table pipeline with a trigger which is continuous.
Looking at the pipeline workflow it shows the status as Running with a green circular arrow...
every time there is a change, then this pipeline writes into the table...
Question:
does this pipeline write only the updates or re-loads the whole table from scratch on each change?

thanks

Answer 1

In a Delta Live Table pipeline with a continuous trigger, whether it writes only updates or re-loads the entire table depends on how you've configured the pipeline. Typically, it is designed to write only the incremental updates, not reload the entire table from scratch.
