Salesforce App Builder Practice Exam

Under what conditions should you utilize Data Loader?

1. You need to load 50,000 to five million records.

2. You don't need the import process to be automated.

3. You need to load into an object not supported by the Data Import Wizard.

4. You want to schedule regular data loads.

The correct answer is: You need to load 50,000 to five million records.

The answer is appropriate because Data Loader is specifically designed for handling large volumes of data, allowing you to load between 50,000 to five million records efficiently. This tool is robust and can manage bulk operations that exceed the limits of other tools, such as the Data Import Wizard, which is more suited for smaller imports. While automation and scheduling capabilities can be desirable features, they are not essential for the initial decision to use Data Loader. It's primarily the volume of data that determines the need for this tool. Additionally, Data Loader can handle objects that the Data Import Wizard does not support, but the volume aspect is the key reason for its selection in this context. In summary, choosing Data Loader for volumes between 50,000 to five million records ensures that the data loads are performed efficiently and effectively, making it the best option for handling large datasets.
