What happens with dual fields in QVDs?

I have a table whit dual fields.

When I store the table in a qvd, how is stored that field?

Is Stored as dual field with numeric and string values ?

If yes, when I load that .qvd again... Am I loading the two values of the dual field?

thanks in advance

  1. As it appears in the internal table
  2. Yes
  3. Yes. You'll lose nothing. But be careful because QlikView may do implicit conversions depending on what expressions you use to load fields & columns.

Best,

Peter

@Peter_Cammaert Would you give an example of the implicit conversion problem you mentioned that we should be careful about?
