A QVX-formatted file is more akin to a QVD than to a csv file. Much like the stream format that is being used between a Connector and the QlikView engine. I you want to save some time and resources when transferring data from your application to QlikView, I would suggest to use QVX. Performance will be better.</P><P></P><P>Peter</P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 31 Jan 2017 16:19:23 GMT https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/qvx-versus-csv-Whats-the-difference-from-an-application/m-p/1266156#M857952 Peter_Cammaert 2017-01-31T16:19:23Z Re: qvx versus csv?
