*** Binary Load vs QVD Load ***

Dear Experts,

Please can someone help me understand the best practices while making application live? Can I use binary load instead of using QVD for faster access of data? I would really appreciate if someone can explain in detail?

Miguel/ Vlad/ John/ Cheenu - I hope you can contribute...

Thanks in advance.

Hi Deepak,

Not a major difference in load speed between a binary load and QVD. Apparently it undergoes the same cut and paste process regarding the data. Only limitation to a binary load is (a) you can only have one binary load per QVW; (b) the binary statement must be the 1st line in the script.

Any one else has a take on difference between QVD & Binary, I would also be interested about hearing from this one.

Hi DV.
Sorry to get into the conversation.
I tell you my experience.
I use QVD files to store data at a given date and thereafter read the data bases.
I have a qvw file, charge it overnight and I invoke on each user to that file (qvw) with the binary sentence.
I hope I have been clear, my English is poor.

Regards.

Thanks Cheenu! Have you changed your userid?

Do you recommend using Binary Load or QVD?
