ABAP SQL

ABAP SQL is a set of ABAP statements, based on SQL, that are transformed to platform-specific SQL by the ABAP SQL interface of the database interface and then passed to the database. When the statements are updated, ABAP-specific parts, such as conditions for implicit client handling or CDS access control, are inserted into them. By default, the standard connection is used to access the ABAP database schema of the standard AS ABAP database.

The statements COMMIT WORK and ROLLBACK WORK are also part of ABAP SQL but are handled in the context of LUWs.

Other versions: 7.31 | 7.40 | 7.54
