database interface
Interface to an
AS ABAP
database that is integrated into the
ABAP runtime environment. Statements in
ABAP SQL and Native SQL access the database using the database interface. Accordingly, the database interface is split into an
ABAP SQL interface and a
Native SQL interface. Classic
dynpros still use the database interface to access the database.
The database interface is responsible for data transport between the AS ABAP and
database system, implicit
client handling, and table buffering.
