Difference between Table and Structure

Dear SD Gurus,
Can anybody tell me what is the difference between a Table and Structure
Pls Reply.

Tables are Database, which stay in system for long duration , as good as permanent, untill & unless the data is archived, which is not very frequent. Data at transaction level are captured from multiple tables, so as to meet the requirement. We can view the data in the table through T.code SE11 & SE16. there are certain tables in which data can be maintained as well as displayed. To maintain data, we use T.Code: SM30 or SM31.
Structures are temporary table & hold the data for that particular instance or transaction.

Rajesh Banka

hi,
table is a data dictionary object in sap. table is of different types
1. transparent tables
2. pool tables
3. cluster tables
table type gives option for u to select different types of internal tables. they r
1. standard table
2. sorted table
3. hash table
Structures :
-Defined like a table and can then be addressed from ABAP programs.
-Structures contain data only during the runtime of a program.
-Just like user-defined data type.
- they are not present in database server and only on application server.

Hi guru's what is the difference between table and temlate in smartforms

hi guru's what is the difference between table and temlate in smartforms

Hi Vasu,
Template is used for proper allignment of data which table is used for displaying multiple data.
We can say Template is for static data and Table is for dynamic data.
Suppose we have a requirement in which we have to allign the customer address in such a way as shown below:-
Name- Vasu Company- WIPRO Location- Chennai
Desig- S/W Native - Mumbai
Then for proper allighnment we can create a template and split that into 3 columns and 2 rows and create text elements for each cell display a proper allighned data at the output.
When we include a template inside a loop it gives the same property as a table.
When we have mutiple data which is to be extended to the next page like when we display all employee details in a company we use table.
Table has 3 sections , HEADER, ITEM ,FOOTER
The header secntion will be executed once and it will loop at the item level. at the end footer will be executed.
Hope this gives u some idea..

Difference between table and advanced table

hi
what is the main difference between table and advanced table ?
What are the usages of both the Beans?

Hi
OAAdvancedTableBean extends OATableBean to provide declarative support for existing table features that previously required programmatic control.
OAAdvancedTableBean also provides declarative support for features not available with OATableBean, such as column span in a table column header. Oracle recommend new tables be implemented as "advanced tables"...
Please Read more info from Jdev Guide..

Difference between table and tenplate?

Hi
What is a difference between table and a template?
Thanks

are you refering to Smartforms?
Well in SF, table is something that contains data. Tables could be dynamic.
Template is a fixed format. Example if you have a invoice and the format is fixed with several vertical and horizontal lines. And you have terms and condition to be printed at the bottom. And the total amount.
Now this template will be printed in the form even if there are line items and even if htere is no line items.

can you please tell me what is the difference between table and template in smart forms,
and als give me some object developed in smart forms.

it is not recommended because, when ever we activate the smartform it generates one function module.
if we transport that driver program and smartform to testing or production, in that server the generated function module name will be differ.
hope u got it.
for this we need to use these function modules.
SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME

What is exact difference between table and template in script

hello all
what is exact difference between table and template in script

Hi there.
Tables alow you to achieve more complex flows with internal tables. You can use different types os lines, like footer, header, line items, and differente types of line items. Also, and most important, you have different processing blocks, again header block (processed before processing of first row), body block (rows) and footer block (after last row or page break).
If you don't need any of this, use a template inside a loop to achieve something like a table. I personaly use templates only to draw lines, for example, before and after a loop, or to align some header in my documents.
A table, is a loop and template mixed to become a very good tool.

Performance difference between tables and materialized views

hi ,
I created a materialized view on a query that involves partition table in it.
When i used the same query and created a table out of it <create table xyz as select * from (the query)> ,the table got created quickly.
So does that mean performance wise creating table is faster than creating/refreshing the materialized view ?or is that due to the refresh method i use ?Currently i use a complete refresh

I created a materialized view on a query that involves partition table in it.
When i used the same query and created a table out of it <create table xyz as select * from (the query)> ,the table got created quickly.
So does that mean performance wise creating table is faster than creating/refreshing the materialized view ?or is that due to the refresh method i use ?Currently i use a complete refresh Well, for starters, if you created the materialized view first and then the standard table, the data for the second one has already been fetched recently and so will reduce your I/O due to caching, and will therefore be quicker. There are also other factors such as the materialized view creating other internal bits that are required to allow for refreshes to be done quickly, such as the primary key etc which you haven't created on your second creation.
What you have shown is that two completely different statements running at different times, appear to operate with different speed. It is not a comparison of whether the materialized view is slower or quicker than the create table statement.

Difference between table and table model

From what I've understood till now, in a JTable, the table itself is actually only a "display area" while the actual data is located in the table model. Is this correct?
Does this mean it is possible to delete rows and columns within the table itself without affecting the actual data in the table model?

Hi,
ok, I will try to answer your second question "is it possible to delete rows and columns in the table but not in the table model"?
The table - lets say the table's view - reflects the data of the data model only, if you fire the correct notification messages via the TableModelListener interface - JTable itself is a TableModelListener and updates its display accordingly to these messages - it never holds data by itself - if something is to be redrawn in the view, JTable ask the model via getValueAt(...) for the data and renders it using one of the cellrenderers delivered by the column of the column model resp. one of the registered default renderers.
Now to your question - you can't delete a row in the tables view, without any change in the table model, as so the data isn't hold by the table's view, it is only held by the table model. But the other way round, it is possible - often accidentially - you can change the data in the table model and forget to fire a notification message for it via the TableModelListener interface - in this case, JTable will not update its view - and the table may look strange, if parts of its view is hidden by other applications and afterwards redrawn, when this application closes. Only the parts, that were hidden, will be redrawn - and this is done with the new data. So, keep track of always sending the correct notification message with every change you make in the table model, so that JTable is able to keep its view up to date.
Hope this helps

Why there is a difference between table and view?

CREATE TABLE SK_ABC (ABC VARCHAR2(10),BBC NUMBER, CCD VARCHAR2(100), DDC DATE);
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW SK_ABC_V
AS SELECT ABC,BBC,SubStr(CCD,1,40) CCD FROM SK_ABC;after this am seeing CCD length in view as 160 in database. am expecting length as 40 or atleast it should give me 100 as table ccd data length is 100, but it is showing me as 160 is bit surprised...
can any one please explain me?
SELECT table_Name,column_name,data_length,column_id,char_used FROM ALL_TAB_COLS WHERE TABLE_NAME LIKE 'SK%' ORDER BY TABLE_nAME,COLUMN_ID;
TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DATA_LENGTH COLUMN_ID CHAR_USED
SK_ABC         ABC                   10                   1                  B
SK_ABC         BBC                   22                   2
SK_ABC         CCD                  100                  3                  B
SK_ABC         DDC                     7                  4
SK_ABC_V     ABC                    10                  1                   B
SK_ABC_V     BBC                     22                  2
SK_ABC_V     CCD                    160                 3                   B

Hi,
This,
SubStr(CCD,1,40)You are taking 40 characters from CCD. You are probably using a multi byte character set, so the column will be 160 bytes. Your output shows char_used = B, that means length of column is taken in bytes.
Edit: Key word is NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10766/tdddg_globalization.htm#TDDDG62910
I think the right thing would be to use char semantics when using multi byte character sets

What is difference between table space and shchema

what is difference between table space and shchema ?

784633 wrote:
so each user has it own space of tables - schema ?yes, but let's clarify a bit ....
The "schema" is the collection of all objects owned by a particular user. So if user SCOTT creates two tables, EMP and DEPT, and a view EMP_RPT, and a procedure GET_MY_EMP, those objects (tables, views, procedures) collectively make up the SCOTT schema.
Those objects will be physically stored in a tablespace.
A tablespace is a named collection of data files. So tablespace USERS will be made up of one or more data files. A specific datafile can belong to one and only one tablespace. If a tablespace has more than one data file, oracle will manage those files as a collection invisible to the application - much like the OS or disk subsystem handles striping across multiple physical disks.
A specific object in the SCOTT schema can exist in only one tablespace, but not all objects of the schema have to be in the same tablespace. Likewise a tablespace can contain objects from multiple schemas.
and can one user to access tables of other users?As others have said - FRED can access tables belonging to SCOTT as long has SCOTT has granted that access to FRED.
