Looking to export data from BDE to QVD?
Advanced ETL Processor Enterprise provides everything you need to automate the data export without writing custom scripts. Visually map and transform your fields, then run the export immediately or schedule it to repeat automatically.

How to Export Data from BDE to QVD
Advanced ETL Processor provides two powerful methods for exporting data from BDE to QVD:
- Using the SQL To QVD Action for direct and quick exports.
- Using Transformations for complex, multi-source data processing.
1. SQL To QVD Action
The SQL To QVD Action is designed for fast, no-code data exports. It allows you to connect directly to your BDE source, run an SQL query, and automatically generate QVD files for Qlik applications.
- Connect to your BDE database.
- Define an SQL query to select the data you need.
- Select QVD as the output format.
- Execute and instantly generate ready-to-use QVD files.
This method is ideal for simple data extractions and one-time exports. Everything is handled automatically by Advanced ETL Processor - no scripting, coding, or manual data formatting.
2. Using Transformations
For more advanced requirements, you can use the Transformation feature in Advanced ETL Processor. It enables you to combine data from multiple sources, perform validation, and apply business rules before exporting to QVD.
- Integrate data from BDE, SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, or flat files.
- Visually define complex transformations and validations.
- Export clean, structured data to QVD for QlikView or Qlik Sense.
FAQ
Can Advanced ETL Processor export BDE to QVD?
Yes. Advanced ETL Processor can read BDE, apply transformations, write QVD, schedule the export, and log the result.
Do I need to write scripts for the export?
No scripting is required for the normal export workflow. You can configure the source, output format, validation, and schedule visually.
Can the QVD export run on a schedule?
Yes. The export package can run on a schedule, write the QVD output, archive files, and keep the same validation rules each time.
Can row counts and failures be logged?
Yes. Add logging so row counts, rejected records, run status, and error details can be reviewed after each export.
What should I check before the first production export?
Check the source query, output columns, data types, date formats, file naming, overwrite rules, archive folder, and failure handling.
Can I export only selected BDE records?
Yes. Use a query or filter so the export reads only the BDE records needed for the file, report, dashboard, archive, or partner feed.
When should I not automate the export yet?
Do not automate it until the source query, output layout, file naming, and failure handling are clear. Automation repeats rules; it does not invent them.
Can I test the export before buying?
Yes. Download the fully functional 30-day trial, build one small export, and test it with a safe sample first.
