FILL BLANK - What database actions can the DataLoader perform?
See the answer below.
Insert, Extract, Update, upsert and Delete.
The DataLoader is a powerful tool that allows you to perform various database actions such as Insert, Update, Upsert, Delete, Export, and Hard Delete.
Insert: This operation creates new records in the specified Salesforce object.
Update: This operation updates existing records in the specified Salesforce object.
Upsert: This operation creates new records or updates existing records in the specified Salesforce object. The upsert operation uses an external ID field to determine whether a record should be created or updated.
Delete: This operation deletes records from the specified Salesforce object.
Export: This operation exports data from Salesforce to an external system. You can specify which fields to export and apply filters to limit the exported data.
Hard Delete: This operation permanently deletes records from Salesforce, bypassing the recycle bin.
It's important to note that the DataLoader should be used with caution, especially when performing actions like Hard Delete, as it can result in data loss. It's recommended to perform a backup of your data before performing any critical database actions using the DataLoader.
