Repository objects are objects you have developed in SAP system or provided by SAP. Such as tables, programs, function modules, transactions etc.

This can be checked in the table TADIR.

Database objects are the ojects provided by the database vendor. You need to be more specific on what you need to know on a Database objects.

Cheers

hi,

In the world of Oracle Designer, a Repository is a database that stores the metadata for Designer objects. In other words, the data associated with objects like Entities, Modules, Table Definitions, etc. is stored as rows in tables that are part of the Repository. The Repository also includes a PL/SQL Application Programming Interface (API) for maintaining this data.

A database is just a place to store data, or an application database is a place to store the data for a particular computer application. The Repository is itself an application database, but it also stores data about (ie. metadata - data about data) other application databases. These other databases might be co-located with the Repository, but normally are stored somewhere else.
