Hi,

We use the BDC to insert the records from the transaction itself, then it will be stored in the Database, if somethig goes wrong in between this then no reocrd will be updated from the BDC, if you do the database update directly, then you need to know links between tables and the links between the fields, and if you update a table and then something goes wrong then you need to take care about all the things, if you do the BDC then SAp will take care of these things

hi,

if you want to directly update the data base then you have to know the relations between different tables and field types and lenght's.

If you use BDC for updating database it will validate the values given.If we directly update database it won't validate the filed values.we have to take care of each and every thing.In BDC, if we entered wrong data then we can check it through transactions.It won't update the database if some thing wrong happens.

We can check the errors and we can update the db correctly.

hai sangee...

you can use bdc to update the flat file into the database in sap.

you can directly update the flat file to database bu you could not do the large amount of flat file datas. so only we go for bdc.

consider one big plant run with normal software . we want install sap in our plant. at those time we go for bdc or lsmw.
