Count of records

Hi,

I'm trying to list the name of table and number of records from qvds.

And I got it right for one qvd but unable to do it when I have multiple qvds.

Can someone suggest me a logic or sample code for this.

Note: There may be multiple qvds and all of them in different locations.

Regards,

Sachin

Something like this using the help section as Stefan pointed out:

SUB DoDir(Root)

  For Each File in FileList(Root & '\*.qvd')

  Let vQVDName = QvdTableName('$(File)');

  Let vNumRows = QvdNoOfRecords('$(File)');

  [Rec Count]:

  LOAD *,

    RowNo() as Key;

  LOAD * INLINE [

      QVD Table Name, No Of Records

      $(vQVDName), $(vNumRows)

  ];

  NEXT File

  FOR Each Dir in DirList(Root&'\*')

  Call DoDir(Dir)

  NEXT Dir

END SUB

CALL DoDir ('C:\Users\sunny.a.talwar\Downloads\Test')

Taking what you did in the script, this should work. Change Cars.qvd and Emp.qvd to the file path

Let vQVDName = QvdTableName  ('Cars.qvd');

Let vNumRows = QvdNoOfRecords('Cars.qvd');

Let vQVDName2 = QvdTableName  ('Emp.qvd');

Let vNumRows2 = QvdNoOfRecords('Emp.qvd');

[Rec Count]:

LOAD * INLINE [

    QVD Table Name, No Of Records

    $(vQVDName), $(vNumRows)

    $(vQVDName2), $(vNumRows2)

  

];

This is a simple and straightforward way (Quick and Dirty) of doing it:

Let vQVDName1 = QvdTableName  ('Cars.qvd');

Let vNumRows1 = QvdNoOfRecords('Cars.qvd');

Let vQVDName2 = QvdTableName  ('Emp.qvd');

Let vNumRows2 = QvdNoOfRecords('Emp.qvd');

[Rec Count]:

LOAD * INLINE [

    QVD Table Name, No Of Records

    $(vQVDName1), $(vNumRows1)

    $(vQVDName2), $(vNumRows2)

];

Thanks Petter, but is there a way to automate it using a for loop or something like that.

For each vQVD in FileList ('*.qvd')

[Rec Count]:
LOAD
'$(vQVD)' as [QVD Table Name],
QvdNoOfRecords('$(vQVD)') as [No Of Records]
Autogenerate 1;

Next vQVD

May be this:

Let vPathName = 'C:\Users\sunny.a.talwar\Downloads\Test\';

For Each File in FileList('$(vPathName)'&'*.qvd')

  Let vQVDName = QvdTableName('$(File)');

  Let vNumRows = QvdNoOfRecords('$(File)');

  [Rec Count]:

  LOAD * INLINE [

     QVD Table Name, No Of Records

     $(vQVDName), $(vNumRows)

  ];

NEXT File

Hi Sunny,

As usual appreciate thanks for the quick response.

But the issue here is some qvds are in sub folders as well like:

C:\Users\sunny.a.talwar\Downloads\Test\

C:\Users\sunny.a.talwar\Downloads\Test\Sub\


Any idea how to handle this scenario
