CLIENT SPECIFIED in inner join

[Former Member]

Hai Friends,

Is it right to use CLIENT SPECIFIED in inner join. if possible explain me with an example.

I am comparing only RSEG-LFBNR with the reference key in MSEG.

Thanks

Hi,

It all depends on the your requirement, if you use this statement the you need to pass the MANDT ffield in the Where clause of select statement.

If you not provide the MANDT field in case you use the CLIENT SPECIFIED then data is fetched from the Buffer.

Client Specified is used when you required to access data of different clients:
Additions:
1 ) If you use MANDT FIELD in the where clause the given clients data is fetched.
2) If no MANDT FIELD is specified Data from all the clients is fetched.

If you specifi MANDT without CLIENT SPECIFIED addition current clients data is fetched.

So if you need to fetched data from other clients in your Join use CLIENT SPECIFIED.

Hi,

If you want to edit data from other clients explicitly, use the SQL command with the addition

CLIENT SPECIFIED and enter the number of the client in which the SQL operation is to be

carried out in the WHERE clause of the command.

Hi,

You can use the CLIENT SPECIFIED Key word in the select statement to access data from multiple clients.

But you have to take care of the performance and also security options into consideration. As accessing multiple client from other clients is not recomended.

Hope this helps.

It is possible, but not always necessary .... I remember doing it once to tweak a little extra performance out of a complex join but I wouldn't normally bother. Below is a bit of sample code with a MANDT in the join ... I ran ST05 SQL trace across it and the "explain" for both prepares was the same... you'd have to try it with your particular select to see if it makes any difference on your system / database.
