Difference between "Database Variant To Data" and "Variant To Data"

Can anyone tell me the differnce between the 2 VI's "Database Variant To Data" and "Variant To Data"?
I am using the database connectivity toolset and making a query.
I have tried using both, but the give me the same result.

You won't see a difference between these two functions with just a string or other simple data types.  Where you'll see a difference is with clusters and more complex data types that come from the database.  The variants returned by databases can be slightly different than the standard variant.  That is where the Database Variant To Data is needed.  Otherwise, if you are just reading string information, either function will work fine.

  • Difference between sales order schedule line and item level data

    Hi All,
    Could you please let me know what is the difference between sales order schedule line and item level data?
    Thanks,
    Ramya

    Hi Ramya,
    Sales order schedule line contains del date, order qty, rounded qty, confirmed qty, delivery qty, schedule line category, purchase requisition etc.,  ie It contains the full details of sales order data with respect to the scheduled line of delivery.  The total quantity of a sales order item can be subdivided into schedule lines that contain the various subsets with the corresponding delivering dates.
    Sales order Item level data contains details of the item in the sales order like material code, net price, net value, UoM, PO details, reason for rejection if any, material group,billing date, plant etc., ie this
    contains the full details of item irrespective of scheduled line.

  • What is the exact difference between Database Cloning and Database Refresh?

    Hi,
    Can anybody tel me the exact difference between Database Cloning and Database Refresh?
    I Have some conflicts in these topics.
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    Refresh is what it says, "refresh" . You have a main site which would always have the data being inserted into it. There would be another site which would remain some where else . This site needs to be refreshed with the primary site. So you need to do export from the primary, push it to the secondary site and done!

  • Difference between Database Mirroring and Cloning?

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me the exact difference between Database Mirrorring and cloning?
    Is database mirroring and multiplexing same?
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    cannot be kept current automatically with the source database It is possible using manually scripted code to automatically update a cloned database to in effect build your own mirrowing process. This is basically a description of home grown Data Guard and is how many sites maintained a ready to use backup prior to Oracle introducing Data Guard.
    The best way to create a clone database today is probably to use the rman duplicate command.
    The clone could be the base for use with a mirrowing process you are setting up or used for other purposes such as providing a consistent frozen snapshot of production for special reporting. It could become the unit test or system test environment or perhaps be used for diaster recovery purposes.
    A clone is a one-time event. Mirrowing is an ongoing process.

  • Difference between Database view and Table

    Hi there,
    Can anyone tell me the difference between Database view and Table.
    Will the Database view query be more faster than a database table?

    Tables and database views can be defined in the ABAP Dictionary.
    These objects are created in the underlying database with this definition. Changes in the definition of a table or database view are also automatically made in the database.
    Data from several tables can be combined in a meaningful way using a view (join).
    You can also hide information that is of no interest to you (projection) or only display
    those data records that satisfy certain conditions (selection).
    Database views implement an inner join. You only get those records which have an
    entry in all the tables included in the view.
    in views db modifications are not possible
    views only contain data at run time
    when they consult the database
    in case of views the join definitions are already sstored in the database itself
    whereas join as open sql is a query to oracle  database as similar select statements
    Views are optimized by SAP and stored in the repository while Joins
    are in reports that needs to be compiled at every execution

  • Differences between client copy with sap_all and database copy

    What's the difference between client copy with sap_all and doing a database copy.
    I know if I do a database copy from Production to our Quality system.
    I need to install the license key
    restore the production library to the quality library
    Initialize TMS and so on.
    I know if I want to copy to our Development system. I would need to run either a remote client copy or and export/import since I cannot do a database copy because I would loose all my other clients in Development.
    My question is, if the quality systems and the production systems are on the same support packs, same kernel.
    What does a database copy give you (besides being faser) that a remote client copy or export/import of a client copy does.
    Any differences
    Thanks
    Joe

    Hello Joe,
    If there is inconsistent Z tables between QAS and PRD, remote client copy could fail, especially when the table on PRD has longer length or more fields than the one on QAS.
    Also the source client should has no-activity during the client copy, otherwise the application data could be inconsistent. For example, some material documents are copied, but not the corresponding financial documents. (For PRD client, it could be hours between the times those tables are copied.) For database restore, it is rarely an issue.
    Best regards,
    Victor

  • Billing document date and accounting document date varying...

    Hello Experts,
    There is one billing document and the date of invoice is, say today, 12/01/2009. and the accounting document date is, say 15 days ahead or behind, 27/01/2009.however, the posting date is proper and according to the billing date and that is again dated today-12/01/209. Now, the user wants to know why the difference exists between the accounting document date and the billing date. any idea? there are some user exits being used but I cant make out, neither the abaper. suggestions please.
    Regards,
    N.Raja Sekhar.

    Dear Raja Sekhar
    Document date is nothing but the date on which that particular transaction has taken place.  But I dont know where you get the date as 27-01-2009.
    It is a general practice that for exports billing document, there would be a Posting block and once the exporter receives the B/L, based on that date, the billing document would be released manually.  For this, there is an user exit to input the B/L number and date and release the billing document.
    So here, what the end users normally does is that the B/L Date might be on 02-01-2009 but he would not have updated on the same date.  At a later date, say on 12-01-2009, he can input the B/L Date (in another words, it is Posting date) as 02-01-09 and execute the billing document.
    If you see the accounting document here, the posting date would have been 02-01-2009 but the document date would be 12-01-09.
    thanks

  • Difference Between Database Schema and Database User Account ??

    First i would like to know what an Oracle Database schema exactly is ?
    And what is it for and also What is it's use ?
    Later the exact "Difference Between Database Schema and Database User Account".
    I googled about it but i'm unable to find out it's The difference,
    Please try to explain in a simple manner........
    Thank you very Much in Advance..........

    Greate example. but i would like add one more point..
    a user is a schema and schema is a user. but when this applies to the user that he become a schema, only if he has got some objects. so we can say while creating the user which dosent contain any objects called simple user account but afterwords when he has got an objects then we can say its a schema as the above user has shown you through the exampleIt is just word-play. There is nothing in like a 'status' indicator to say "USER_A is just a user but USER_B has become a schema". Many people use the terms "user" and "schema" interchangeably, and some very good DBAs will insist this is correct. I don't disagree with them even though I usually try to make the distinction.
    In a typical application, all of the objects (tables, procedures, etc) that implement the app will be owned by a "application schema owner" - a user which exists for the sole purpose of owning the schema. Said user will have no privileges at all .. especially not CREATE SESSION. Except for possible maintenance activity no one ever actually connects as this user. User accounts are then given to actual humans who connect with their own accounts. The accounts have the necessary system and object privileges granted to them - via a role. One could also create a special account (let's call it APP_ADMIN) that is used for maintenance and batch operations within the application.

    This is fully covered in the documentation:

    About Websheet Applications
    About Packaged Applications
    There is little difference between packaged applications and database applications, other than that packaged applications are supplied by Oracle and database applications are created by you.

  • Any difference between Master data and User master data ?

    Any difference between Master data and User master data ?

    hi
    A user master record defines the authorizations assigned to a user. Based on these authorizations one can access the master data.
    Master data - it is the data which is used long term in SAP r/3 system such as vendor master , material master, customer master,
    there is no such thing like user master data to the best of my knowledge

    HI
    An entire table can be included in a database view. In this case all the fields of the included table will become fields of the view (whereby you can explicitly exclude certain fields). If new fields are included in the table or existing fields are deleted, the view is automatically adjusted to this change.

  • Difference between Database, instance and schema

    Hi
    I don't know the clear difference between database, instance and schema.. In the broad sense, everything seems to be the same. If anyone can differentiate between them with some example, that will be of great help.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    In Oracle, people often do use "database" and "instance" interchangeably, or together as one term: "database instance".
    A "schema" is quite different. A schema is a collection of objects (such as tables, indexes or procedures). Every object belongs to exactly one schema, and every schema is a part of exactly one database. (Names may not be unique, however. For example, your database may have one schema named SCOTT, and another schema named USER1. Each of those schemas may have a table named EMP. The EMP table in the SCOTT schema, or SCOTT.EMP, is not the same as the EMP table in the USER1 schema, or USER1.EMP. A different database, my database for example, may also have schemas called SCOTT and USER1, which are completely independent of the SCOTT and USER1 in your database.)

  • HT4203 what is the difference between turning off "enable 3G" and "cellular data"

    what is the difference between turning off "enable 3G" and "cellular data"?

    Turning enable 3G off turns 3G network access off. This does not prevent the iPhone from internet access via your carrier's EDGE or GPRS network which is much slower.
    Turning Cellular Data off turns cellular data off completely. No internet access via your carrier's cellular network.
