Difference between open SQl & ABAP SQL?

Former Member — Mon, 04 Mar 2019 19:11:39 GMT

Difference between ABAP SQL which is used in older version of SAP and the Open SQl which is used in the newer version of SAP?

The older SQL & Open SQl how do they differ in syntax? How do we know that this the SQL is executed on application server OR on the Database?

Open SQL has been in use in ABAP since at least the mid 90s. Probably before. All SQL, in the end, is executed on the database. There is no such thing as ABAP SQL. Since "older SQL" is Open SQL, there's no difference in syntax.
