want to connect and output to .qvd files from alteryx 2020.2

Hi Team,

I have a requirement to be able to read/write to .qvd extenstions ? I read through some forums but did not get a definitive solution. Can someone help? or convert ..qvx to .qvd if the former is not possible

Hey @SouravKayal,

From my research QVX vs QVD - Qlik Community - 152547

"QVD : Stands for Qlikview Data (One of the optimize layer of data which has been fetched from the database, qvd is a patent technology of qliktech and qlikview applications reads data 100 time faster as compared to any other sources because data get stores in optimized format. Only Qlikvew application can read the data from QVD. Its always better to fetch the data from from database first and then load the data into your application)"

This would mean that you cant read or write to QVD in Alteryx, you would have to pass the data to Qlik.

HTH,

Ira
