SQL Statements in Qlikview

From my experience it is usually more efficient to perform the join in the load script than the sql select statement.

Qlikview supports all manner of joins (left/right/inner) and becasue the function is being performed in memory usuing qlikview's own algorithms it is usually much faster e.g. something like:


table1:
load primarykey,a,b,c;
from sql select * from dbo.table1;
right join (table1)
load primarykey,d,e,f;
from sql select * from dbo.table2;

does the same as sql statement:

"select primarykey,a,b,c,d,e,f from dbo.table1 right join dbo.table2 on table1.primarykey=table2.primarykey "

the syntax is from memory so there may be comma or colon misplacements

I run this statement in my back and I QlikView errors in TOAD FOR ORACLE, however it works correctly.

select count(a.nmat)
from rhpagent a
left join rhfnom f on f.cdos = a.cdos and
f.nume = '1' and f.cacc = a.nato and
f.ctab = 4
left join rhfnom f1 on f1.cdos = a.cdos and
f1.nume = '1' and f1.cacc = a.cat and
f1.ctab = 8
where a.cdos = '01' and a.nato = '001' and a.cat = '02'
and a.dtes < to_date('01/01/2010');

What to do in this case?

It would be useful to know what error it is producing and what the load script entry looks like, i.e. does it go something like:


table1:
load *
from sql select count(a.nmat)
 from rhpagent a
 left join rhfnom f on f.cdos = a.cdos and
 f.nume = '1' and f.cacc = a.nato and
 f.ctab = 4
 left join rhfnom f1 on f1.cdos = a.cdos and
 f1.nume = '1' and f1.cacc = a.cat and
 f1.ctab = 8
 where a.cdos = '01' and a.nato = '001' and a.cat = '02'
 and a.dtes < to_date('01/01/2010');
