QVD load not optimized when used Exists function

Hi,

I have a QVD of around 60M rows. I am trying to load the dates for a particular type of products.

Sample script:

------------------------------------------

Temp:

Load * Inline

[

Product Type

A

B

C

];

LoadDates:

Load [Invoice Date]

from

abc.qvd(qvd)

where

exists([Product Type]);

Drop table Temp;

-------------------------------------

It gives me the data for Product Type A, B and C, but takes very long time to execute and in Trace window, it does not show as Optimized Load.

without this filter, I am able to load the dates in 1/10th time of the time taken to load the above.

Can anyone help what i am missing?

Regards,

Manish

Try including the comparative field [Product Type] in the load (and then drop), like:

LoadDates:

Load

     [Invoice Date],

     [Product Type]

from

abc.qvd(qvd)

where

exists([Product Type]);

Drop Field [Product Type];

The script you shared seems to be a sample one. Could you share the exact load statement you are trying?

Are you selecting Product Type from your qvd?

Hi,

No, Just loading the dates.

Product Type is in where clause only.
