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
Reward if helps

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.
Database view:

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.

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.)

Difference between line type and table type

hi,
can any one explain the difference between line type and table type . and how to declare a internal table and work area in BSP's

hi,
Go through this blog, this might help you.
/people/tomas.altman/blog/2004/12/13/sdn-blog-how-to-do-internal-tables-in-bsp
People who have worked with ABAP for a while sometimes forget that the internal table concept is rather different than what exists in most programming languages. It is very powerful, but at the same time can be confusing.
In SAP it is possible to have a table which is the rows and a headerline which is the working area or structure which can then be commited to the table.
With a BSP, if we try to create an internal table within the BSP event or layout we will get the following error: mso-bidi-
                        "InternalTableX" is not an internal table - the "OCCURS n" specification is mso-bidi- missing.
class="MsoNormal"><![if !supportEmptyParas]>The problem we are seeing as an inconsistency has to do with the difference between classic ABAP and ABAP Objects. When SAP introduced ABAP Objects they decided to clean up some of the legacy syntax and create stricter rules. However they didn't want to break the millions of line of code that already existed, so they only implemented these stricter checks when OO is being used. Therefore you can declare a table with a header line in a regular ABAP program or Function Module but you can't have one with a header line in OO.
Because everything in BSP generates ABAP OO classes behind the scenes, you get these same stricter syntax checks. My suggestion is that you have a look in the on-line help at the section on ABAP Objects and always follow the newer syntax rules even when writing classic ABAP programs.
In a BSP when we need to work with a table we must always do the following:
1, in the Types definitions create a structure:
                        types : begin of ts_reclist,
mso-bidi-        style='mso-tab-count:2'>                            receiver type somlreci1-receiver,
mso-bidi-        style='mso-tab-count:2'>                 style='mso-tab-count: 1'>             rec_type type somlreci1-rec_type,
mso-bidi-         style='mso-tab-count:2'>                            end of ts_reclist.
mso-bidi- <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
but we must remember this is only a structure definition and we cannot store anything in it, although we can use it elsewhere as a definition for Structures(WorkAreas)
2, in our Types definitions (this is the best place for this one as we can then access it from many areas without having to create it locally) so in the Types definitions we must create a TableType:
class="MsoNormal">                         types : tt_reclist type table of ts_reclist.
class="MsoNormal"><![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]> this TableType is our table definition and again we cannot store anything in it, but we can use it elsewhere as a definition for InternalTables
3, now that you have laid the foundations you can build and in the event handler, it is now simply a case of creating the InternalTable based upon the Table definition:
                       data: t_reclist type tt_reclist.
and creating the structure based upon the structure definiton:
<![if !supportEmptyParas]>   <![endif]>                         data: s_reclist type ts_reclist.
as described above, the structure becomes the work area and this is where you assign new values for elements of the table eg:<![endif]>
                        s_reclist-receiver = '[email protected]'.   "<-- change address
mso-bidi- <![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
mso-bidi-                         s_reclist-rec_type = 'U'.
and then once the data is in the elements of the structure, the structure can be appended to the internal table as follows: class="MsoNormal">
                        append s_reclist to t_reclist.
<![if !supportEmptyParas]> <![endif]>
the internal table will then be readable for the ABAP function and can be applied for example as follows: class="style1">           style='mso-tab-count:1; font-family: "Courier New", Courier, mono;'>
class="style1">CALL FUNCTION 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'
                        EXPORTING
style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    document_data = docdata
style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    DOCUMENT_TYPE = 'RAW'
style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    PUT_IN_OUTBOX = 'X'
style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    COMMIT_WORK = 'X' "used from rel.6.10
                        TABLES
mso-bidi-font-size: style='mso-tab-count:2'>                                    receivers = t_reclist
class="style1"> <![if !supportEmptyParas]>   <![endif]>
<![if !supportEmptyParas]>F inally, a comment from Thomas Jung,
<![if !supportEmptyParas]> when defining my work area for an internal table I like to use the like line of statement. That way if I change the structure of my table type, I know that my work area will still be OK. Second, your types and table types don't have to just be declared in your code. You can create a table type in the data dictionary and use it across multiple programs(also great for method and function parameters). I really push hard for the other developers at my company to use the Data Dictionary Types more and more.
Hope this helps, Do reward.

Difference between database, websheet and packaged applications

This is fully covered in the documentation:

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.

No different, these are just transparent tables like any other. You can select data from them the same as any other transparent table.

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.

Diff between database view and inner join

Hello,
I need to select data from multiple tables. I need to choose between 2 options.
1) create a database view and use this view for select.
2) write an inner join in abap prorgam.
In which cases we should create a view and in which cases we should use a inner join?
What are the factors which decide these?
Pls advice.
Thanks,
Rupali.

Hi,
Both are same..
But if you use regulary and used view in Multiple programs then create view..
If inner join in abap prorgam between two or more table used in less Programs and do not want to
create View (Means not to create transport request) then go for JOin in Program.

Difference between database design and schema design

Hi i have visited so many database websites and i found so many people saying we can design a data base for you. Is schema designing and database designing is the same. so many palces i find people saying we have to design data base first in order to create a physical databse. so i am little bit confused. are they same? and also what is the difference between data model and schema?

> the definition i found for logical data model, physical data model and the definition you
gave for logical database design, physical database design are the same.
Not correct. The physical design is the implemetation of the logical design. These two designs are at different levels. Also, the logical design will be the same. irrespective of the RDBMS product use.
What is incorrect is a designer/architect designing a logical design specifically for Oracle.. or specifically for SQL-Server. A logical design has nothing to do with the RDBMS product (or h/w platforms. app servers, web severs and operating systems used).
So the logical design will always be the same - it is RDBMS independent.
The physical design is fully dependent on the RDBMS product used. The same logical design will be implemented as different physical designs for Oracle and for SQL-Server.

Difference between interface view and interface controller

Hi,
What is the difference between interface controller and interface view?
When we will use interface controller and when we will use interface view?
How do we create an interface view?
How do we attach this interface view to a view in another component
Regards
MQ

Hi
Interface View Controllers
A) Implement event handlers which are called when ..
-starting (start-up plugs) Web Dypro applications
-a component is reached via navigation (inbound plugs)
B) Allow fireing outbound plugs (navigation)
C) Allow firing exit plug
D) Have no own context, public methods or events
Interface Controller of a Component
The interface controller of a Web Dynpro component contains all context nodes, events and methods of the component controller to which you assigned the Interface addition in the Controller Editor. These parts can be displayed in the interface controller view, although you cannot edit them here.
Interface Controller of a Component Interface
A Web Dynpro component interface can be created independently and defined so that it can be implemented later in any components (see working with Web Dynpro Component Interfaces in the Programming Manual of this documentation). That is why in this case you can define the context nodes, methods and events you require in the interface controller view. The relevant implementation then takes place in the component controller of the implementing component.
Check this links and work on it.

Wrong position of objects / difference between editor view and browser view.

Dear Adobe
System info: Mac OS X 10.9, Muse 7.1 Build 329, Chrome, Safari and Firefox in the newest versions.
I use Muse since version 5 and this effect does exist 'til today (v7.1) without any changes.
Many times i have differences in the position of placed objects. But this missbehaviour is not realy logical. For example take a look to this illustration:
Left: Muse Editor, right: Browser (in this case its chrome, but the effect is identical in safari and firefox too)
Left you see one pixel space between the blue bar and the shadow (image-object). In the browser is the space bigger (2px). When i move the shadow-object in muse one pixel higher, then look this so:
The shadow is now within the bluebar. The position has changed in muse for 1 pixel, in browser around 7 pixels... i don't see, why.
Another example:
Left Muse Editor, right Browser... do you see the dramatic difference between?
I hope, this problem can be solved with a future version...
Best regards
Michael

This variation is due to the difference in the layout of text between Design view and Preview, which is representative of the variations that exist between browsers, OSes, devices and individual versions of each of those.
It's impossible to reverse engineer the structure of the objects from the screenshots, but how the objects or individual sized and positioned relative to one another is key to understanding (and explaining) what you're encountering.

Differences Between Entry View and GL View - Doc. Splitting

Hello Experts,
I need some help about an issue occuring in our Client right now, differences in Entry view and GL View. Any help will be appreciated.
- Debit or Credit Balance posting of an account does not match with the balance posted in GL View, generally the GL view posts an amount above of the Entry view, and then it cause the Debit/Credit balance does not match with the movement in Entry View. Example Below from Quality System:
Debit Balance in January 2013: 319.794.641,38
Movement from FAGLL03 - OK.
Movement from FBL3N - Entry View Difference: 319.794.619,86 - 319.794,641,38 = 21,52 Debit
Checking NEW-GL Movement, we found the posting difference:
The Document Entry View: 5.465,22 Credit From Bank Account
The GL View - SAP Credited 5.486,74 Bank Account PC 1411 and Cr Bank Account PC 1444.
Total: -5.486,74 + 21,52 = 5.465,22 OK on Balance, but not OK from movement considering the Entry view.
- Questions:
- I understood the calculations, it was calculated as mentioned in note 1072850_Field overflow or very large amounts due to doc splitting
- Is this supposed to happen by SAP Doc.Splitting perspective?
- I am facing this issue because we need to send to the government account balances and their movements, and according to laws we need to pay additional amount for addtional lines generated, so it was better to send the information based in Entry View, not in GL View.
- FS10N Show warning message "New general Ledger Implemented, use FAGLB03", and when i execute the transaction the balance showed was the balance from FAGLB03.
- SAP 605 APPL.
Regards,
Leandro.

Hi ,
Can you Please look at OSS note
1655571 - Multiple values and multiple/additional line items appearing in the NewGL View when compared to Entry View
Many Thanks
