Why the size of the file was so big?

Hello,

I have a qvw file (access point) that is using binary load, I noticed that the access point file was too big 50MB. It only had couple of tables and one tab. Even when I was removing all the objects, the size was not changing that much.  The size of the binary file is 6MB.

I removed the data and load the binary file again. After that, the file with all the charts and objects was 6.3MB which now is reasonable.

Can somebody explain me the reason of why the file was so big?

Best regards,

AD

Not 100% sure.

signficant changes in data volumes are not usually resulting from UI objects , variables etc...  but more from the data model.

Did the data model look the same before and after ?  # tables and # columns and # rows all the same ?  If yes,  was the compression setting different before/after under document properties -> general ?

Dear Jonathan,

Data model didnt change at all. Using the same model, I only remove the data and reload the binary and then the size of the file was reduced.

Isn't this a strange behavior?

Best regards,
