logical dbase vs view

[Former Member]

hi,

i know that logical database is a special ABAP/4 program which combines the contents of certain database tables.

i just 1 2 clarify if logical dbase cannot be used like transparent table or view in our customised report as logical database is a program and not a table.

right?

Hi,

Yes Logical database cannot be used as any other transperant table or a view. Since it is a program which uses predefined hirarchial structure to read the data from the TABLES that exist in the database.

Logical database is there to help you to read the data with out you coding for the data retrieval and which also takes care of all authority checks SO we have all that is required for this logically related tables at one central place.

Hi,

LDB's are special type of programming which we fetch data from different tables

By defining the HIERARCHY STRUCTURE of tables.

Data is fetched using GET and GET LATE commands, unlike SELECT statement which we use for transperant tables.
