Displaying and Editing Database Tables

In ABAP Dictionary, it is possible to define whether database tables are displayed or edited using the tools Data Browser (transaction SE16 ) and "Table View Maintenance" (transactions SM30 and SM31).

The following settings are possible:

  • Display/maintenance not allowed
  • Tables cannot be displayed or edited using Data Browser SE16.
  • No maintenance dialogs can be created using transaction SE54, which means that transactions SM30 and SM31 cannot be used.
  • Display/maintenance allowed to limited extent
  • Tables can be displayed but not edited using Data Browser SE16
  • Maintenance dialogs can be created using transaction SE54.
  • Tables cannot be displayed and edited with transactions SM30 and SM31. Maintenance dialogs can, however, be used in "View Cluster Maintenance" (transaction SM34).
  • Display/maintenance allowed
  • Tables can be displayed and edited using Data Browser SE16
  • Maintenance dialogs can be created using transaction SE54.
  • Tables can be displayed and edited using transactions SM30 and SM31. Maintenance dialogs can be used in "View Cluster Maintenance" (transaction SM34).
