How best way to make a incremental qvd?

Hi,

I have a doubt about best way to make a incremental qvd:

1-

MSG_ALR:

LOAD DISTINCT

    ID_MSG_REC,

    DT_REC,

    MODULE_ID as ID_MODULE,

    SubField(MSG, ',' ,5) AS OCORRENCIA

resident CM_MSG_REC WHERE SubField(MSG, ',' ,5)='BEGIN';

DROP TABLE CM_MSG_REC;

MSG_ALR:

LOAD

*

From

[lib://Dados/MI/MSG/CM_MSG_REC_ALR.qvd] (qvd);

STORE MSG_ALR INTO [lib://Dados/MI/MSG/CM_MSG_REC_ALR.qvd] (qvd);

2-

MSG_ALR:

LOAD DISTINCT

    ID_MSG_REC,

    DT_REC,

    MODULE_ID as ID_MODULE,

    SubField(MSG, ',' ,5) AS OCORRENCIA

resident CM_MSG_REC WHERE SubField(MSG, ',' ,5)='BEGIN';

DROP TABLE CM_MSG_REC;

CONCATENATE(MSG_ALR)

LOAD

*

From

[lib://Dados/MI/MSG/CM_MSG_REC_ALR.qvd] (qvd);

STORE MSG_ALR INTO [lib://Dados/MI/MSG/CM_MSG_REC_ALR.qvd] (qvd);

But if have a third option, I'll glad to hear about it.

Thank you

Incremenatl Load logic :

I Have a large source : let's say 20 millions line :

1) Let's import this and store it in a qvd:

Table:

load * from source;

store Table into table.qvd(qvd);

2) Now, that we store these 20 millions in the qvd; we comment the previous script;

3) the next day, we have 21 millions lines in our source; instead of importing the whole 21 millions from our database:

a) Import the 20 millions already stored in the qvd

b) from the source database, we import only the new 1 million lines

=>

Table:

Load * from Table.qvd(qvd);

concatenante

load * from source where not exists (UniqueID); we just import the lines that do not exist in the QVD.

Hope this was clear?

Hi - what about making L1 QVD first from TABLE CM_MSG_REC

and then L2 QVD transforming form L1 QVD

Hi Omar,

thank you for the explanation, but why the result in both cases are the same?

Hi Jaha,

It works, same result as 1 or 2.

I want to know if 1 and 2 have the same result , what's best.

Hi- yes the results are same. but if data is big, the optimized load will perform better in loading the data.

Thank you!
