Query SAP Database with Native Sql.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I would like to query the table MARA with native sql and return all headings and data

Select * from MARA where MATNR = '00000000151515'

<i>I need this to be able to TEST my Sql statements.</i>

In SqlServer you have the Query Analyser where I can do just this, but is there some nice in SAP Tool for this as well ?

[Unfortanely I can't connect to SAP_U01 database from QA...]

Hi Martin,

maybe you give ST05 a try: last button gives the possibility to enter a SQL-statement directly - and for explanation it has to be executed (somehow).

anyways, why do you want to do it? It is not a good idea to use native sql for the purposes of getting data. SAP can change a database model next release, and in this case you will need to change your code too.

The closest you can get with something similar is SE16. You use ST05 to evaluate the performance of your SQL statement, considering the index you are having.
