Adds new rows to the existing table without modifying existing data. No deduplication is performed, so you may end up with duplicate records.
This strategy is best used when unique keys aren’t required. For key-based updates, use one of the
Merge options instead.
Example: Add daily trips
Daily trips are appended so that historical trips remain intact.
