How does the server handle QVD files generated by script?

Hi,

I'm playing around with the idea of having the load script do the following:

  1. load table from QVD file
  2. load data from a database to a temp table
  3. concatenate the tables (if new data was available)
  4. store the updated table back to the QVD for later use

My question is:

How are QVD files handled by the server when the clients use the web access? How does the server handle QVD files, and what should the STORE call look like to have it work?

Br,
Tom

Hello Tom,

Since QVDs are only used when the document is loaded, users needn't have access to them. A usual STORE statement looks like

STORE NameOfTable INTO FILE.QVD


Hope that helps.
