Hi,
I am not sure is it only me, but to me the QV documentation (starting with the obvious QV Server Reference) looks to be of very poor quaility.
I have recently read a lot of QV document while we were evaluating QV for a reporting solution. I found the documentation difficult to read; it was not very well organized, it did not drive me through the subjects. There are many overlaps; on the other hand, some areas do not seem to be covered (or information is not publicly available).
I was reading a lot of Oracle, Java, Microsoft, W3.org, IEEE and other documentations and thus I have an idea how a good, self-explanatory and complete/consistent documentation should look like. QV documentation is not up to my expectations.
My observation include:
I think QV should completely review and rework their documentation and make it _all_ fully available, even for non-customers. It is difficult to make a decision on wether to include QV in the technology stack if most of the information is not available; even if the product itself seems to be OK.
Does anyone have the same impression about QV documentation? Please, let me know in comments/feedbacks.
Regards,
Szilard
Personally I have generally found that the combination of the F1 help and reference manuals gets me the answers I need. However, it is hard to disagree with any of the points you so eloquently make. Maybe you should put yourself forward to QlikTech for the job of reviewing it. They'd probably listen! Go through your accountant her or maybe send a note to one of the employees on this forum, or even a direct note to Anthony Deighton with the same detail...

*accountant her!? Bloody auto-correct! I meant "account manager"!!
