Hi,

Table types are DDIC objects which are used to create internal tables, they act as data type for creating internal tables.

suppose SPFLI_T is a table type then if you use

DATA: it_spfli type spfli_t.

this creates a internal table to be used with in your program.

Table types does not have a physical table in the database.(They dont occupy memory in the database)

Were as DATABASE tables have physical table in the database.( They occupy memory in the databse).

Regards,

Sesh

Table Type is one of the DATA TYPES which we create and reference to this datatype

where as DATA tables are tables that are stored in Database with some data and create straight with TABLES option from SE11

Where as we use DATATYPE option in SE 11 for data type creation
