Full Load

Reloading an entire dataset each run, typically by truncating and repopulating the target.

Definition

Full loads are simple and self-correcting but become slow and costly as data grows. They suit small dimensions or sources without reliable change tracking.

Exam tip

A full load captures hard deletes naturally; an incremental load needs extra logic for them.
