– QlikView extracts the requested data from the
source and retains the metadata that describes
the relationships between the various data
elements. Structure
QlikView File
– The data is fully normalized (i.e. each data value
is only stored once), resulting in a memory
requirement that is 5-15% of the original data
source’s size.
– The data is stored in its own file which resides in
memory (RAM) during runtime.
Why Is This Better?
•
Increased performance because all calculations are done in
memory without reading from disk
– You do NOT have to predefine hierarchies (i.e. cubes)
– You empower your end users to drive their analysis needs
rather than your IT department
– You rarely have to go back to the IT department to have your
QlikView file rebuilt because it doesn’t cover all your analysis
needs
