Dynamic table name in native SQL

[Former Member]

Hi,

How can i use dynamic table name in native SQL?

My req is to select data from a external database table , but the table name will be only poulated during runtime.

How can i acheive this?

Hi,

You will probably find this Blog from Horst Keller very helpful: [ABAP Geek 15 - ADBC|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/15837] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken]; .. there's also a demo program called ADBC_DEMO which has examples too.

Thanks for your reply...i will go through the blog...Is ADBC is the only way to do this or any other solution is there...Please advise...so that i can concentrate only on ADBC..

The blog indicates that the "exec sql" won't accept dynamic table names but, technically, you could probably achieve something if you really needed by creating some logic in a [dynamic program|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9f/db996e35c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm] at runtime. But ADBC would seem to be the best way forward.

Thanks for ur reply...i had used cl_sql_statement....but here also if i use a variable instead of field i cannot retreive ths data...

but if iam giving the table name and fieldname directly it is selecting the data...i had pasted the code below...Please help

TRY.
* Make a connection to the database. If parameter is empty, this is the
*standard connected database

      RF_CONNECTION = CL_SQL_CONNECTION=>GET_CONNECTION( ).

      RF_STATEMENT = RF_CONNECTION->CREATE_STATEMENT( ).

      RF_RESULTSET = RF_STATEMENT->EXECUTE_QUERY(

      'select :V_TABLE from ZODS_DELV_DUE_TBL'
      ).
* Get the data from the resultset.

      GET REFERENCE OF WA_BUKRS INTO DR_BUKRS.

      RF_RESULTSET->SET_PARAM_STRUCT( DR_BUKRS ).

      WHILE RF_RESULTSET->NEXT( ) > 0.

        WRITE: / WA_BUKRS.

      ENDWHILE.

* close the connection with the database.

      RF_CONNECTION->CLOSE( ).

    CATCH CX_SQL_EXCEPTION INTO RF_CX_SQL.

      TP_MESSAGE = RF_CX_SQL->GET_TEXT( ).

    CATCH CX_ROOT INTO RF_CX_ROOT.

      TP_MESSAGE = RF_CX_ROOT->GET_TEXT( ).

  ENDTRY.

It should work OK - see demo below.
