popolate qlik db

Normally the qlik db is populated running script.

Is there any way to write my own utility to populate the qlik db without using scripts.

What i want to do is to generate data to be analyzed directly from my application (using proprietary data engine) instead of generate a formatted files and then import it, this to avoid two users step.

Thanks for any info

Flavio

I believe the answer is "yes". Per the reference manual, under "What's New in QlikView 9":

2.6 Real-time data update

Dynamic Data Update

For the first time in QlikView history it is possible to programmatically update field data in real-time without running the script. Via new APIs and more or less standard SQL insert, update and delete commands, any QlikView field data can be updated directly in RAM. On a server the updated data is pushed out to the clients.

This functionality is freely available in stand-alone QlikView but requires an additional license on QlikView Server. See the QlikView API Guide for more information.

We're still using version 8.5, and I haven't experimented with this. But it sounds like what you're looking for?
