hi,

The tables created in SAP have a mapping to the tables in the underlying Oracle/DB2 Database..all the data reside in the DB layer.

Data Dictionary Is concerned with MetaData ( Data which helps to get actual data)

the definitions (data objects) are stored in application layer

actual data Stored In DataBase

Hope I am clear

The definitions of Dictionary objects related to meta Data are stored in the application layer.

While the Actual implementation of objects are placed in the data base and reside in the DB layer.

Hope this will help.

Reward if helpful

hi vijay krishna ,

The ABAP Dictionary is completely integrated in the ABAP Workbench. This ABAP workbench is a component of ABAP application layer.

so, ABAP Dictionary is in ABAP application layer

Hi.

In database layer all data is stored and retrieved from user driven conditions,commands given by end user programmer through presentation layer(GUI). ABAP programs are run on application layer but stored in database layer.

Hi Vijay.

The ABAP dictionary lies in the APPLICATION LAYER and is connected to the RDB - Relational Database.

But, the dictionary objects are the physical data which is present in the underlying DATABASE (Database Layer).

ABAP dictionary is designed to minimize the database access, improving the performance and support the complete working of the SAP.

Reward points if you find this information usefull.
