- 13. How Is The Data Stored? QlikView Approach How Does QlikView Do it? Database Customer Product Vendor Kate Shirts Cascade Jim Pants Cascade Jim Pants Dillon Joe Socks Acme Joe Shirts Acme – 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
