What Is ABAP?

ABAP (Advanced Business Application Programming) is one of the computer languages that can run SAP Application Servers. It is similar to COBOL and is connected to the Netweaver platform.

The ABAP data dictionary is used to build a description of the structures used in objects for application development. In addition, it indicates how they are connected to the database in terms of tables and views.

What Is A Foreign Key?

The elements of a database are created in fields. Foreign keys are utilized to make sure data is consistent across the database. New data entries are compared to existing data, and the system makes sure there is no conflict. The cardinality of the relationship must be designated when creating foreign keys. The number of records, and how those records are referenced, is mentioned by the cardinality.

What Is The Difference Between Transparent Tables and Pooled Tables?

Transparent tables in a dictionary have a one-to-one connection with database tables. The tables in both the dictionary and the database have the same name. Transparent tables actually contain application data. On the other hand, pooled tables have a many-to-one relationship. Usually, the table in the dictionary has a different name from the one in the database.
