Hello,

IMPORT tab = it_itab FROM DATABASE indx(aa), is a operation related to data clusters in the database. First a data object will be stored in the cluster database using EXPORT ITAB to DATABASE statement and the data cluster is read using the IMPORT ITAB FROM DATABASE statement.

Have a look at this standard SAP help document
