Interval Match taking up too much memory

Hi all,

I used Henric's Interval match method without joins, but my event table has 1 million rows and my date table has 400,000 rows. As a result, during load 70 million intervals were generated. After the load is done, the application hangs (not enough memory). This is my data model below:

Is there a way round this? I don't actually need the intervals to stay in the load. My event table has a numeric CUSTNO, and I need to map the NAME linked to that CUSTNO. However, a single CUSTNO is linked to different NAMEs at different periods.

My dates table:

CUSTNO	NAME	FROM_DATE	TO_DATE
15431	Bank A	20150144	99999999
87438	Bank B	20140101	20150104

My fact table (and the NAME values that I need mapped):

CUSTNO	EVENT	MSG_DATE_NUM	NAME VALUE THAT I NEED
15431	AAAA	20140801	Bank C
15431	BBBB	20150201	Bank A

Is there a way to get rid of the whole intervals and just get the NAME values I need? Otherwise, my QlikView is hanging. Thanks.

Have a look at this document IntervalMatch and Slowly Changing Dimensions : https://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-4310

There are concepts of how to get rid of the bridgetable and how to join to the fact table

Thanks for the resources. The issue was on my end where I had far too many open intervals that were completely unnecessary.
