number of rows and volume of an qvw

[mbrm_218]

Hi

let's say a qlikview document will hold 1 million rows and  the size on disk is 250 MB, if the qvw grows to 2 million rows will the size become 500 MB? knowing the field values are not similar and there is no compression whatsoever.

many thanks

Setting "Compression" to "None" in the User Settings of QlikView will not turn off all compression. The documentation is simply wrong. The built-in symbol table "compression" will still be in effect. So I strongly believe that if the number of unique values don't increase proportionally with the number of rows that there will be not a doubling of the size when you have twice the number of rows...

Why don't you run some tests yourself... it is easy to generate some test data and verify it quickly.
