QVD (QlikView Data) is a file format native to Qlik products, specifically QlikView and Qlik Sense. It is designed to efficiently store and load data from various sources. QVD files typically contain a table of data, including the actual data and associated metadata. They are optimized for speed and data compression, making them a crucial component for data modeling and loading in Qlik environments. QVDs are often used as an intermediate layer in a data warehousing architecture, enabling developers to create reusable data sets and improve application performance by reducing the need to repeatedly load and transform data from the original source.
