Native SQL interface
Part of the database interface responsible for
Native SQL statements. The Native SQL interface handles the statements triggered from the
ADBC framework and all Native
SQL statements embedded statically between
EXEC and ENDEXEC. Vendor-specific
SQL statements are passed, unchanged, to the
database system of the current
database connection.
SAP-specific static Native SQL statements are edited in the Native SQL interface before being passed.
To enable this, the Native SQL interface contains platform-dependent parts (known as client libraries), which also perform conversion between ABAP types and database types.
