<!-- markdownlint-disable MD001 -->
Appenders are the most efficient way of loading data into DuckDB from within the C interface, and are recommended for
fast data loading. The appender is much faster than using prepared statements or individual `INSERT INTO` statements.
Appends are made in row-wise format. For every column, a `duckdb_append_[type]` call should be made, after which
the row should be finished by calling `duckdb_appender_end_row`. After all rows have been appended,
`duckdb_appender_destroy` should be used to finalize the appender and clean up the resulting memory.
Note that `duckdb_appender_destroy` should always be called on the resulting appender, even if the function returns
`DuckDBError`.
## Example
```c
duckdb_query(con, "CREATE TABLE people (id INTEGER, name VARCHAR)", NULL);
duckdb_appender appender;
if (duckdb_appender_create(con, NULL, "people", &appender) == DuckDBError) {
// handle error
}
// append the first row (1, Mark)
duckdb_append_int32(appender, 1);
duckdb_append_varchar(appender, "Mark");
duckdb_appender_end_row(appender);
// append the second row (2, Hannes)
duckdb_append_int32(appender, 2);
duckdb_append_varchar(appender, "Hannes");
duckdb_appender_end_row(appender);
// finish appending and flush all the rows to the table
duckdb_appender_destroy(&appender);
```

##### Syntax
<div class="language-c highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="kt">const</span> <span class="kt">char</span> *<span class="nv">duckdb_appender_error</span>(<span class="nv">

</code></pre></div></div>
##### Parameters
* `appender`: The appender to get the error from.
##### Return Value
The error message, or `nullptr` if there is none.
<br>
#### `duckdb_appender_flush`
Flush the appender to the table, forcing the cache of the appender to be cleared. If flushing the data triggers a
constraint violation or any other error, then all data is invalidated, and this function returns DuckDBError.
It is not possible to append more values. Call duckdb_appender_error to obtain the error message followed by
duckdb_appender_destroy to destroy the invalidated appender.
##### Syntax
<div class="language-c highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="kt">duckdb_state</span> <span class="nv">duckdb_appender_flush</span>(<span class="nv">
</span> <span class="kt">duckdb_appender</span> <span class="nv">appender
</span>);
</code></pre></div></div>
##### Parameters
* `appender`: The appender to flush.
##### Return Value
`DuckDBSuccess` on success or `DuckDBError` on failure.
<br>
#### `duckdb_appender_close`
Closes the appender by flushing all intermediate states and closing it for further appends. If flushing the data
triggers a constraint violation or any other error, then all data is invalidated, and this function returns DuckDBError.
Call duckdb_appender_error to obtain the error message followed by duckdb_appender_destroy to destroy the invalidated
appender.
##### Syntax
<div class="language-c highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="kt">duckdb_state</span> <span class="nv">duckdb_appender_close</span>(<span class="nv">
</span> <span class="kt">duckdb_appender</span> <span class="nv">appender
</span>);
</code></pre></div></div>
##### Parameters
* `appender`: The appender to flush and close.
##### Return Value
`DuckDBSuccess` on success or `DuckDBError` on failure.
<br>
#### `duckdb_appender_destroy`
Closes the appender by flushing all intermediate states to the table and destroying it. By destroying it, this function
de-allocates all memory associated with the appender. If flushing the data triggers a constraint violation,
then all data is invalidated, and this function returns DuckDBError. Due to the destruction of the appender, it is no
longer possible to obtain the specific error message with duckdb_appender_error. Therefore, call duckdb_appender_close
before destroying the appender, if you need insights into the specific error.
##### Syntax
<div class="language-c highlighter-rouge"><div class="highlight"><pre class="highlight"><code><span class="kt">duckdb_state</span> <span class="nv">duckdb_appender_destroy</span>(<span class="nv">

</code></pre></div></div>
##### Parameters
* `appender`: The appender to flush, close and destroy.
##### Return Value
`DuckDBSuccess` on success or `DuckDBError` on failure.
<br>
#### `duckdb_appender_add_column`
Appends a column to the active column list of the appender. Immediately flushes all previous data.
The active column list specifies all columns that are expected when flushing the data. Any non-active columns are filled
with their default values, or NULL.
