Good question. I don't think I ever had to inspect the ET table after the MLOAD DELETE so don't have ready-to-use examples but I can imagine it
may possibly be populated by rows which were not deleted due to, say, potential violation of hard-coded referential integrity with other tables.
Not that I had to use the latter in Teradata either so my suggestion is purely hypothetical and requires validation by experiments.
