Qlikview Binary Load

[#1]

I have a data model which is having around 180 million records. I have a qvw which creates the data model and this is around 10.5 GB.

I have my final application in which I do a binary load of the data model qvw. I was expecting the size of my final application to be smaller than that of the data model - but it doesn't seem to be so.

Any thoughts on why it hasn't happened  or am I missing something ?

Thanks,

A "BINARY" load is just a copy of the data model which is contained in your .QVW but without any UI or other non-data elements... BINARY does not transform, compress or modify anything from the .QVW it only loads it into your new QVW as an exact copy.

So the behaviour you experience is entirely correct.

Best regards,
