Difference between Table and Table Type

Hi
Can you please let me know the
Difference between Table and Table Type and
Difference between Structure and Table Type?
Regards,
Sree

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.
if helpful reward some points.
with regards,

Difference between ALV and Table control

Hi folks,
i want to know the major differences between AlV and table controls.
i know that table control is designed in screen painter, but i want to know the major diff between Table control and ALV.
helpful answers will be rewarded.
Regards,
Naveen

Hi Naveen,
Basically ALV is a way to display the output and Table Control is designed in screen painter through which you can get entries in Table Control, can delete some records etc for further processing and its not use only for Display.
ALV is Application List viewer:-
Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
TABLE CONTROL:-
ABAP offers two mechanisms for displaying and using table data in a screen. These mechanisms are table controls and step loops. Table controls and step loops are types of screen tables you can add to a screen in the Screen Painter.
Rewards if useful.

Shilpi

Confused: the difference between ExtractStruct., and table in datasource?

Run RSA6 on R3, locate any datasource and display it, then we can see a ExtractStruct. field at the top, and many table fields at bottom. What's the difference between the ExtractStruct. and the below table in the datasource? All the entries are the same between these two? Or usually the below table in the datasource contains all the standard fields and it we want to populate the standard fields, we will have to add them to the ExtractStruct. during the extraction?
Also double click ExtractStruct. to open it, we can see an Append Structure button at the top bar. We know that if want to add custom fields, then we need to add them to the Append Structure, but if we want to just update standard fields, we just need to add them to the ExtractStruct.?
Thanks!

Hi Kevin,
The Fields you see in RSA6 are the fields of the extract structure only. It is a list of all the fields in ES. Some of the fields might be hidden and some of the fields might be used for selection. If you double click on the ES and go in, you will see the same set of fields. If you edit the DS, you can change the selections boxes there according to your requirement.
Append structure is for appending the necessary fields to the ES as you rightly mentioned. You can not change the standard delivered fields. You can do it using the access key but definitely not advisible. Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

Difference between template and table in smartforms

what is the difference between a template and table in smartforms

Hi Krish,
 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- Krishna 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 U got some idea

What is the difference between sheets and tables?

Seriously. I've used Numbers for many projects, but the difference just isn't apparant to me?

Hi Michael,
Sounds like it's time to crack open the manual and spend a little quality time with Chapter 1.
Apple provides a couple of excellent tools for understanding and using Numbers, the Numbers '09 User Guide and the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide. Both are fully searchable PDF documents, and both are available for download via the Help menu in Numbers.
I'd recommend reading at least the first three chapters of the Numbers Guide (about 60 pages in all), then dipping into the rest as you need it.
The F&F guide is a useful reference whn you're writing formulas, or when you're trying to figure out what's going on in the formulas in a template produced by someone else.
Regards,
Barry
PS: The information regarding Sheets, Tables, etc. may be found in the article The Numbers Window, starting on the second page of Chapter 1, Numbers Tools and Techniques.

Difference between Logicaldatabase and Table Join in Query SQ01

Hello Expert,
To create query, we need to create infoset first. While cration of infoset we have two option
1. Enter Table names and join table
2. Use logical database.
We cant use both option at a time.
I have created a infoset where i have used the logical database PNPCE, Now i have situation where i need to join the two infotype mainly 0021 and 0138. But i cant find any otion wher i can join these two table. If i use these two table in the infoset instead of logical database , i am able to join them using join tool.
When i use logical database, by default infotypes are joined based on the employee number only. Is thetre any option where i can join my two infotype other than employee field???

What's the difference between text and value type for SO item category?

Dears,
Could anybody help me on this question?
Many thanks!
Regards,
Shiliang

Hi Shiliang,
In a Bill Of Material the main item is a composite item which represents what is being sold to the customer. For eg. a computer typically would consist of Monitor, Keyboard,mouse and CPU, speakers. Here computer refers the collection of all these items which are physically existing and basically items present in our inventory ( Value Items ). Where as computer is just a text item meant to describe the collection.
Also to add the for Usage we use it as text sometimes, which is used to say the item has been authenticated by the quality dept and we print " Tested " on it or these days all the items come out with unique article numbers for identification purpose. So we use this usage as text.
Hope it adds. Pl reward if useful.

What is the different between component and component type in extract struc

Hi All,
What is the different between component and component type in the Extract Structure?
I used them, but I never really know the different between them yet.
Thanks,
Grace

The difference between Component and Component Type are:
Component This is essentially the field name in the extraction structure. These can either be SAP delivered field names or custom field names (e.g. Y* or Z*).
Component Type This defines the data definition for the field, along with associated attrributes and descriptions for anything using that Component Type, to define the corresponding Component. If you double-click on any Component Type in an extraction structure, it will show you the definitions that have been setup for that Component Type (will display as Data Element but it's essentially synonymous - Component Type refers to structures and Data Elements refer to tables).

What is the difference between CDC and SCD type2

I am a new user of BODS and Have used SCD type 2 (delta's) capturing and loading the difference of data to targets.
Trying to understand the difference between CDC and scd type 2.
CDC says capture changed data, so i assume both are same, is that true?
thanks for the helpful info.

CDC is Change Data Capture -
The CDC methods will enable you to extract and load only the new or changed records form the source, rather than loading the entire records from the source. Also called as delta or incremental load.
SCD Type 2 (Slowly Changing Dimension Type 2)
This lets you store/preserve the history of changed records of selected dimensions as per your choice. The transaction table / source table will mostly have only the current value and is used in certain cases where in the history of a certain dimension is required for analysis purpose.

Difference between GENERIC_M and GENERIC_M_CI

hi all,
I have just begun looking into the volumes of documentation on multi-lingual sorting support in Oracle. I am basically trying to understand the difference between GENERIC_M and GENERIC_M_CI types of NLS_SORT. My code ran into an oracle bug when using GENERIC_M as NLS_SORT (See Re: Issue sorting with column > 500 chars in length when NLS_SORT is GENERIC_M As a temporary workaround I am trying to use GENERIC_M_CI and see what impact it will have on my application code which needs to support both English and French sorting. Could someone please summarize the difference for me please? In the meantime, Binary NLS_SORT will not work for French, correct?
Thanks in advance.
A fellow Oracle user

Check out Chapter 5, Linguistic Sorting and String Searching of the Globalization Support Guide.
Specifying a Case-Insensitive or Accent-Insensitive SortUse the NLS_SORT session parameter to specify a case-insensitive or accent-insensitive sort:
* Append _CI to an Oracle sort name for a case-insensitive sort.

Difference between is_published and is_replicated columns of sys.tables

Hello,
Can someone please tell me the exact difference between is_published and is_replicated columns of sys.tables? I know is_published is inherited from sys.objects table , but purpose of both the columns are same. However sometimes for some replicated tables
i have seen is_published = 1 and is_replicated = 0 and for another published database tables value of both columns are 1.
It is bit confusing. Can you please explain?
Thanks in Advance.
-Malkesh

Is published has a value of 1 for snapshot and transactional replication, and peer to peer.
Is_replicated has a value of 1 for transactional, p2p, and cdc.
The values will be 1 for both the pub and the subscriber in p2p, but are 0 for both for all other subscription types.
The values are always 0 for merge.

Difference between "Export" and "Export form Fact Table" package

Hi experts!
Could you tell me what is the difference between "Export" and "Export form Fact Table" package?
Tkanks
Gabriel

Hi,
Basic difference between Export and Export from Fact Table is
In standard package "Export" : We can perform this function when we are online and we have adequate amount of data to be exported. We can run this package eg: weekly or monthly. Here we use u201CExport Packageu201D to pull the data
And in the administrative package "Export from Fact Table" Mostly it is used to do the backend data loading basically bulk data , also any formula logic has to be implemented on the data in that case we use the administrative package.
Hope this helps.

Difference between global temporary table and with clause

what is the difference between global temporary table and with claue .(with clause is used as table in select query)

what is the difference between global temporary table and with claue .(with clause is used as table in select query)Its big difference between the two.
Global temporary table exists for a session or a transaction while, with clause lives only for a query.
GTT is a named permanent storage table whose data flushes away on session exit or at end of a transaction while WITH clause just provides names to a reference data within a query (which is as good as having union subquery in FROM clause)
eg
SQL> with c as
2 (
3 select 1 id1, 2 id2 from dual union all
4 select 2,4 from dual union all
5 select 3,5 from dual)
6 select * from c
7 /
       ID1        ID2
         1          2
         2          4
         3          5
SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1 select *
2 from
3 (
4 select 1 id1, 2 id2 from dual union all
5 select 2,4 from dual union all
6* select 3,5 from dual)
7 /
       ID1        ID2
         1          2
         2          4
         3          5But GTT serves its purpose very well in case of session specific transaction and the scnearion with multiple users working on same data.
