# Full load files

Full Load Files are used to populate the empty source tables with data. Full Load Files should only contain the table data. The source tables themselves are created using the External Table Editor provided in the File source endpoint configuration. Both the tables and their data are replicated to the target endpoint during the Full Load stage of the Replicate task.

Example of a Full Load Data File

`22,January,2014,male,5463565` `12,May,2011,female,3236776` `9,March,2009,male,9648675`
