The ABAP Data Dictionary is not only used to manage global templates (i.e. types) for possible ABAP variables, but is also particularly important for communication with the database on which the SAP system is based.
This course is about getting to know and understand this interface between ABAP and the database in more detail. The core topics are the definition of database tables in ABAP and the optimization of access to this data. Special tables (such as pool or cluster tables) are introduced and a brief look is taken at future database access under S/4 HANA via Core Data Services (CDS). The description of (physical) database views and (logical, i.e. SAP-specific) projection and maintenance views completes this course.
