how to write to database?

Hello everyone,

I ask you something not easy, I'd like to know if it is possible to write in the database via QlikView.

I know that QlikView does not natively support this feature. So I've done several researches but I have not found anything that would be useful to me.

Has anyone ever had to deal with something like that?

Any help is appreciated, thanks

You can use macro's to instantiate a writable connection with a database and write data to a database. Simply search the internet for vbscript code that writes to a database.

unfortunately no, this explains how to export.

What should I do is write on my db where I get my data, so every time I launch the script the data that the user entered is not lost

Yes I know, but I'm not an expert and some examples I found are not easy to understand.

well guys,

I followed this guide Write back to database via XML output or web service, and I solved the problem by saving the data to XML. Now saving is working properly but I have two small problems:

1) saving only works on the elements currently viewing. Let me explain, mine is a dynamic scenario that changes in response to customer choice. the customer is chosen through a list box, and the table for entries is updated in relation to the customer chose. Each client is associated with a family of products and the table changes its number of lines in relation to the family. So there will never be a constant number of rows.

I'd like to save everything and not just data related to the customer chose.

2) how can I load the saved data in the table?
