Storing tables into QVD

Hi all,

For QlikView, when we store a table into a QVD using the script editor, does anybody know what format is this command line in? XML etc?

I do not know. I don `t believe.

QVD is a type of file to understand the data format for Qlikview software.

QVD will follow the compression technique  so it will reduce the data 95% when compared with the table data in Database.

WHY:- It is helpful to fetch the data in a super fast manner(Why because it is understandable format for Qlikview ex:- it is a Mother tongue Language for Qlikview)

when :- If we fetch data from data base depends on the n/w speed data retrieving and calculation time it will take time so it will reduce that and increase the speed of Data Refreshment time for the EndUser


where :-we will use QVD's at the time of Incremental load time.
