How to make this load more quickly

[#1]

Hi All,

I have one big qvd about 1GB size.

And I use load script to extract data from that qvd.

However,  when I use the where clause to filter the records to get what I want, the whole process takes some much time.

How can I speed up that process like adding the index in the SQL table?

Thanks.

Hey Isaac,

Here's a blog post explaining what will and what will not break the optimized QVD load:

HI ,

       You can create the View in the DataBase with the filter what ever you have.

And then try to Export that view into Qvd .

So you can use that Exported Qvd wihtout any clause ( i.e By Optimised Load) .

Please let me know if there is anything .

Hi,

You can try out the below ways

1) use only required fields

2) Add where clause on resident statement

    eg:  

Test:

Load a,bc, from qvd;

Load * resident Test where a=9;

I hope this helps you out.

Hi, 

If you don't perform any calculations and replace your WHERE clause with:

WHERE Exists(Field) 

your load will be optimized,

Adding a WHERE clause breaks the optimized load.  If you only have a single field in the WHERE clause you can replace it with WHERE EXISTS - please post your WHERE clasue and I'll help further.

First, please try not to start multiple threads with the same topic, it makes it hard to follow  a topic and clutters the forum.

Coming back to your question: I assume your qvd load changes from optimized to non-optimized, when you added the where clause. This can lead to orders of magnitude slower load times.

I believe the only condition you can use in a where clause to keep getting an optimized qvd load is a single exists() statement.

So maybe you can remodel your load to consider that, maybe like suggested here:

Hi

Using a where clause when loading from a QVD will prevent an optimised load. Therefore it will take much longer to load.

Hi,

You need to use optimized load which is much faster than normal QVD load. I have used optimized load with 7GB QVD files and it loads in few minutes. Please use Where Exists() instead of simple Where Clause. If you have more than one field in where clause then please build a concatenated key preferably a number and not hashed key or text based key. Then use the where clause with this key along with the Exists() function and this way you always perform optimized load.

I hope this helps!

Cheers,
