What is a characteristic of a full refresh job?

A characteristic of a full refresh job is that it passes the full refresh flag. This indicates that the job will rebuild the targeted tables or views completely, as opposed to only updating or adding new data. When executing a full refresh, the existing data is removed, and the data is reloaded in its entirety, ensuring that any changes, deletions, or modifications are captured fully.

The functionality that comes with enabling the full refresh flag allows teams to effectively manage their datasets, particularly when significant changes occur or when it is important to ensure that the dataset accurately reflects the underlying source data. By doing this, any stale data can be eliminated, and the integrity of the data can be maintained.

In contrast to this, the other options suggest behaviors typical of incremental refresh jobs or that imply a lack of comprehensive data handling, which does not align with the purpose of a full refresh.
