Can types in .cds files be compiled to .hdbtabletype?

[SAPSupport]

Hello,

Is there any way to annotate types in .cds files in order for them to be compiled to .hdbtabletypes so we can use them as IN/OUT params in procedures?

Many thanks,

Hello,

there is no way to generate `.hdbtabletype` with the @sap/cds-compiler.

The chapter on using native SAP HANA Artifacts may be helpful.

Hello patricetao ,

Do you know if it's planned to be supported in future?

I'm asking because in Neo XS Classic environment the types defined in *.hdbdd files were becoming table types and we could use them to define the type of procedure parameters. The entities which were defined previously in *.hdbdd files can now be defined in *.cds files and they become .hdbtable in Cloud Foundry (CAP with HDI db module).

I know we can directly define the native HANA artifacts .hdbtabletypes under db/src folder, but was wondering if cds compiler will support this feature in future.

Thanks,

Stefania

Hi stefania-santimbrean,

I spoke to the colleagues in the compiler team. This feature won't be supported in the future.
