TiDB to Qlik Integration
AI-first ETL from TiDB into Qlik. Governed entities, incremental sync, typed landing tables.
How Datrise loads TiDB into Qlik
Datrise syncs TiDB's tables, rows, schemas, indexes, regions, and TiCDC change events into Qlik as tables loaded into Qlik's associative engine (often via QVD). Flexible or custom fields land in flattened columns for the data model, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as date/time fields.
Sync is incremental: Datrise uses incremental QVD loads merged on stable id, so re-runs update only what changed. QVD files per entity and load date. Qlik's associative model joins on identically named fields, so Datrise standardizes key names so associations link correctly.
Ideal for associative, in-memory exploration in Qlik Sense.

How TiDB entities map to Qlik
| TiDB entity | Qlik object | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| tables | tidb_tables | id PK · custom fields → flattened columns for the data model |
| rows | tidb_rows | id PK · linked to tidb_tables |
| schemas | tidb_schemas | id PK · linked to tidb_tables |
| indexes | tidb_indexes | id PK · linked to tidb_tables |
FAQ
How does Datrise handle TiDB's custom fields in Qlik?
Flexible values are stored as flattened columns for the data model, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native Qlik types.
How does the TiDB to Qlik sync stay up to date?
It runs incrementally — Datrise uses incremental QVD loads merged on stable id.
