Loading XML field into Qlikview from external database taking very long time

Hi,

I am trying to extract an XML field from external database.

And the extraction step takes around 1.5 hours to extract around >1,580,000 rows and one column which has data in XML format.

We need only one tag's value from the XML field.

How can the reload time be reduced?

And how can we extract only the field that we are interested in (enQty tag in the below XML)?

The content of the XML field is below :

//<postVEE>

       //<dvcIdN>747237099405</dvcIdN>

       //<mcm>1.000000</mcm>

       //<stDt>2014-08-01-00.00.00</stDt>

       //<enDt>2014-09-01-00.00.00</enDt>

Where does this database reside? Is it retrieving the values that takes time or is it QlikView's parsing that is the bottleneck here?

If it is the communication between the database and QlikView that is your bottleneck then there is little you can do from a QlikView perspective to speed the read.
