Data Loading and Clearing

1. The Definitions

* Data Loading: Importing values into blocks.

* Physical Clear: Wiping data and shrinking the database size on disk.

* Logical Clear: Marking data as #Missing; faster but doesn't immediately reclaim space.

2. The Whiteboard Analogy

* Data Loading: Writing problems on the board.

* Data Clearing: The eraser. If you don't erase properly, old numbers mix with new ones and create errors.
