database interface
Interface of the database of an AS ABAP that is integrated into the ABAP-runtime environment. The statements of Open SQL, Native SQL, and ADBC access the database via the database interface. The database interface is accordingly divided into a Open-SQL-interface and a Native-SQL-interface. The database interface is reponsible for data transport between application server and database server, automatic client handling and SAP buffering.
