Hi,

Why dont you create a QVD of that CSV file and then try to load in QlikView.

are you able to split data through several smaller QVD ?

for example, loading 1 year at a time, storing each year in a dedicated QVD

"FOR LOOP"

my_table

LOAD * FROM mycsv WHERE year=vYear

STORE mytable INTO mytable & vYear.QVD

DROP my_table

Hi,

I think the way could be devide the data into QVD's. Say for example for one year or on another basis.

And then again create a QVD whith combined data from all small QVD's and then try to load it.

Hi,

Not possible the reason is while loading data QlikView loads data in RAM, and if you have less RAM then there is no chance.

I dont know if it can be done by increasing the virtual memory.

Just try that.

Hi,

Go to Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Performance -> settings -> Advanced tab -> Virtual memory.

This is for Windows 7.

I assume you are running Windows 7 x64 since the 32 bits version only can address 2 GB memory.
