Import QVX to MariaDB Automatically
Looking to import data from QVX to MariaDB?
Advanced ETL Processor Enterprise provides everything you need to automate the data import without writing custom scripts. Visually map and transform your fields, then run the Import immediately or schedule it to repeat automatically.
A QVX (QlikView Data eXchange) file is a structured, column-based data format used by QlikView and Qlik Sense. It enables fast and efficient data exchange between Qlik and external systems.
While QVX is powerful inside the Qlik ecosystem, it's not natively supported by relational databases like MariaDB. Advanced ETL Processor bridges that gap - allowing you to transform and load QVX files into MariaDB without writing a single line of code.

How to Import QVX to MariaDB - Step-by-Step
1. Launch Advanced ETL Processor
Within the object tree:
- Create a new Directory Connection for the source QVX files
- Create a new MariaDB/MySQL Connection as the target
2. Create a New Transformation
Right-click a transformation group and select New to open the design canvas.
3. Configure QVX Reader
- Double-click to open Reader Properties
- Set datasource type to QVX
- Select Source Connection Directory
- Select your QVX file and verify its structure
4. Configure MariaDB Writer
- Double-click to open Writer Properties
- Set data target type to MariaDB/MySQL
- Select the MariaDB connection and target table
5. Map and Transform Fields
Use AutoMap or manually connect fields. You can also:
- Rename or reorder columns
- Apply data type conversions
- Use trimming, formatting, or calculations
6. Run the Transformation
Click Run (Green Arrow) to import the QVX file into MariaDB. You can run this manually or schedule it for automated execution.

FAQ
Can Advanced ETL Processor import QVX to MariaDB?
Yes. Advanced ETL Processor can read QVX, map fields, validate data, write to MariaDB, and log the import.
Do I need to write scripts for the import?
No scripting is required for the normal import workflow. You can configure the reader, writer, mapping, validation, and schedule visually.
Can the QVX import run on a schedule?
Yes. The package can run on a schedule, process matching QVX files, archive originals, and write rows to MariaDB with the same validation rules each time.
Can imported data be transformed before loading?
Yes. You can clean values, convert data types, calculate fields, split columns, and apply lookup rules before writing to the target.
Can bad rows be logged or rejected?
Yes. Add validation rules so rejected rows, failed files, row counts, and error details are visible after each run.
What should I check before the first production import?
Check source layout, target table, key fields, data types, date formats, write mode, archive folder, and failure handling.
When should I not automate the import yet?
Do not automate it until the source layout, target table, key fields, and bad-row handling are clear. Automation repeats rules; it does not invent them.
Can I test the import before buying?
Yes. Download the fully functional 30-day trial, build one small import, and test it with a deliberately awkward sample file.
