A Correct answer
Explanation

Multiload is a Teradata utility that can load data into already-populated (existing) tables. It supports both insert and update operations, making it suitable for adding data to tables that already contain records.

AI explanation

True. Teradata's MultiLoad utility is designed specifically to load, update, and delete data in tables that already contain rows — unlike FastLoad, which requires the target table to be empty. MultiLoad supports up to five INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE tasks against populated tables in a single run, using match/no-match conditions to decide whether to insert or update. This is the key distinction test-takers need: FastLoad = empty tables only; MultiLoad = populated tables, no Unique Secondary Indexes allowed on the target.
