Hello, why airbyte result has airbyte_emmited_at field in the csv file. What is the use for that. I believe when I want to have incremental sync I can use cursor field on created_at column in my db. I am just trying to understand why we need airbyte_emmited_at field. Can someone please help me to understand

Hi! It's a field that's used to keep track of important information about a record: `_airbyte_emitted_at`: time at which the record was emitted and recorded by destination connector. Here is the doc that goes over this: https://docs.airbyte.com/understanding-airbyte/basic-normalization/#normalization-metadata-columns And if you have some more time, you can dig deeper into the concepts here: https://docs.airbyte.com/understanding-airbyte/basic-normalization/ https://docs.airbyte.com/understanding-airbyte/airbyte-protocol/ Hope this helps! :)
