Loading QVD Issue

Hi All,

I have one table Tab1 and it contains A,B,C,D fields and it will refresh every 12 hours.Here we are doing full load for every 12 hours (not incremental load ).

My req is first time Tab1 contains 10 records then i stored it in Qvd. After refreshing the Tab1 there is no records (deleted) now i have to keep the old data(10 Records)

in QVD instead of storing 0 records. Means we have to store the data only when Tab1 contains more than one records, if record count is zero then we have to keep the previous QVD.

Is there any way to do this? If yes Could you please provide with sample.

Thanks,

Chiru

Try to load your table incrementally  or otherwise you can check the no of rows of the table if it is greater than 0 then create the QVD otherwise do not create the QVD, For more see the example for that.

Tab1:

LOAD

Name,

Age

FROM TableName;

LET vNoRows = NoOfRows('Tab1'); //For finding the no of rows and store into the variable to check rows

if vNoRows > 0 then

STORE Tab1 into Tab1.qvd(qvd);

END IF

If understand the requirement correctly..

If any records are added/modified in database then only  you have to update/add records to the QVD. This can be achieved using Incremental Load concept.

For more clarification, See the topic 'Using QVD Files for Incremental Load' in QliView help.

vLastExecutionTime=ReloadTime()

vCurrentExecStart=now()

Sales:

Load * Inline

[

  A, B, C, D

  100,101,102,103

];

LET vNoOfRows = NoOfRows('Sales');

If $(vNoOfRows) > 0 then

  Store Sales into Sales.qvd (QVD);

  DROP Table Sales;

ELSE

  SalesOld:

  LOAD Customer, Sales

  FROM

  Sales.qvd

  (qvd);

  Store SalesOld into Sales.qvd (QVD);

  DROP Table SalesOld;

END IF
