I have a Excel file which has around 250 K records I want to load these records in my instance. How can I achieve this?
What is the maximum limit of the records that we can load through the load data module?
Solved! Go to Solution.

For importing does not have limit criteria but for exporting the records has limit criteria for that
Navigate to System Proerties -> Import Export
Excel sheet is 1,048,576 rows so excel sheet contains 250K records in multiple sheets.
And I don't think there is a limit. However as a best practice Break a very large data set into multiple, smaller jobs for faster results. Consider import sets under 100,000 records as a guideline. For example, importing 10 sets of 100,000 records completes faster than one import of 1 million records even though the total data imported is the same.

But it's a temporary data holder right. We Want to do validations ones the transform is done, i.e all the records are loaded in to the target table.
