load and sql select in qlikview

Hi All,

I have below script

Case1:

C;

sql select * from Tablename;

If we load the above script will it decrease the performance of the application .Whats the case if i have millions of data ?

sql select A,B,C from Tablename ;

please clarify me how it is different from first statement.

Let me know whats the best practise

Thanks

sql select * from Tablename;


This will return all the fields in the table from the database, over the network and into QlikView, for QlikView to then ignore all fields except A, B & C.



sql select A,B,C from Tablename ;


This will only return the fields QlikView wants. A, B & C from the database, over the network and into QlikView.  This is the better practice.

rgvavihs‌,

As we know Qlikview is an In-Memory tool. It is not good bring all the columns into QVD/QVW.

Use the required columns in the load script.
