What are views in DDIC and plz mention the difference between them

hi,
What are views in DDIC and plz mention the difference between the different type of views..
1) maintainence view
2)database view
3)Projection view
4)help view
P.S : Good answers will be rewarded with points.

Hi,
The followings are different types of views:
- Database View   (SE11)
Database views are implement an inner join, that is, only records of the primary table (selected via the join operation) for which the corresponding records of the secondary tables also exist are fetched. Inconsistencies between primary and secondary table could, therefore, lead to a reduced selection set. 
In database views, the join conditions can be formulated using equality relationships between any base fields. In the other types of view, they must be taken from existing foreign keys. That is, tables can only be collected in a maintenance or help view if they are linked to one another via foreign keys.
- Help View    ( SE54)
Help views are used to output additional information when the online help system is called. 
When the F4 button is pressed for a screen field, a check is first made on whether a matchcode is defined for this field. If this is not the case, the help view is displayed in which the check table of the field is the primary table. Thus, for each table no more than one help view can be created, that is, a table can only be primary table in at most one help view. 
- Projection View
Projection views are used to suppress or mask certain fields in a table (projection), thus minimizing the number of interfaces. This means that only the data that is actually required is exchanged when the database is accessed.
A projection view can draw upon only one table. Selection conditions cannot be specified for projection views.
- Maintenance View   ( SE54 )
Maintenance views enable a business-oriented approach to looking at data, while at the same time, making it possible to maintain the data involved. Data from several tables can be summarized in a maintenance view and maintained collectively via this view. That is, the data is entered via the view and then distributed to the underlying tables by the system
Thanks,
Shankar

    plz give the difference between procedure and function atleast 10 differenc

    The only difference between procedures and functions is that functions always return a single value to the caller, while procedures do not return a value to the caller.

  • When to use Infotype 0014 & 0015? what is the differences between them?

    When to use Infotype 0014 & 0015? what is the differences between them?

    Hello
    Infotype 14 is used for recuring payment and deductions
    The wagetype to be used for IT0014 is maintained in VV_52D7_B_0014_AL0 ,against the country grouping.
    IT0014 is always entered with a start date and end date along with the wagetype and amount /unit relevent for payment/deduction
    Say you want to make a special allowance payment to some employee for a period of 6 months only.
    So in IT0014,you will enter the wagetype that is maintained for special allowance  with a start date of say 01.10.2011 to 31.03.2012 with amont as Rs.1000.
    So when you run payroll for the period october 2011 until march 2012,this amount of Rs.1000 will be paid to the employee
    Infotype 15 is used for one time payment or deductions.
    The wagetype to be used for IT0015 is maintained in VV_52D7_B_0015_AL0,against the country grouping
    IT0015 is always entered with an effective date along with the wagetype and amount/unit relevent for payment deduction.
    You want to make performance award pay to employees in the month of march 2012.
    You will enter the amount in IT0015 with the effective date as 31.03.2012 for the wagetype as maintained for performance award ,amount say rs.50000.This amount will be caluclated and paid to the employee as a one time payment in march 2012 payroll
    Thanks and Kind Regards

  • What are the versions of BW and what is the difference between them

    what are the versions of BW and what is the difference between them

    Hi Reddy,
    SAP BIW 2.0a, 2.0b
                   3.0a, 3.b
                   3.1c
                   3.5  and Now BI 7 are some of the versions.
    Major difference between BW3.5 and BI 7.0 versions:
    1. In Info sets now you can include Infocubes as well.
    2. The Remodeling transaction helps you add new key figure and characteristics and handles historical data as well without much hassle. This is only for info cube.
    3. The BI accelerator (for now only for Infocubes) helps in reducing query run time by almost a factor of 10 - 100. This BI accelerator is a separate box and would cost more.
    4. The monitoring has been improved with a new portal based cockpit. Which means you would need to have an EP guy in ur project for implementing the portal.
    5. Search functionality hass improved!! You can search any object. Not like 3.5
    6. Transformations are in and routines are passé! Yes, you can always revert to the old Tcodes.
    7. The *Data Warehousing Workbench *replaces the Administrator Workbench.
    8. Functional enhancements have been made for the Data Store object:
    New type of Data Store object, Enhanced settings for performance optimization of Data Store objects.
    9. The transformation replaces the transfer and update rules.
    10. New authorization objects have been added
    11.*Remodeling *of Info Providers supports you in Information Lifecycle Management.
    12 the DataSource: There is a new object concept for the DataSource .
    Options for direct access to data have been enhanced.
    From BI, remote activation of Data Sources is possible in SAP source systems.
    13. There are functional changes to the Persistent Staging Area (PSA).
    14. BI supports real-time data acquisition.
    15. SAP BW is now known formally as BI (part of NetWeaver 2004s). It implements the Enterprise Data Warehousing (EDW). The new features/ Major differences include:
    a) Renamed ODS as Data Store.
    b) Inclusion of Write-optimized Data Store which does not have any change log and the requests need no activation
    c) Unification of Transfer and Update rules
    d) Introduction of "end routine" and "Expert Routine"
    e) Push of XML data into BI system (into PSA) without Service API or Delta Queue
    f) Introduction of BI accelerator that significantly improves the performance.
    g) Load through PSA has become a must. Info Packages are used to load data upto PSA only.
        You need to create DTP to update data from PSA to Data Target.

    Ram.

  • HELP! There are so many softwares and I dont know the difference between them :(

    I bought my mac less than one month ago and it says it has the software OS X (with a logo of an apple). Now can someone please tell me in detail whats the difference between Mavericks and all other confusing softwares?! I still dont have pages

    They all are OS X.
    OS X is the name of the operating system I've been using since 2001.
    Each new version gets a new name and a higher number.
    First version was 10.0 (Chettah) and it cost $129. 10.1 was free but 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 cost the same.
    10.6 (Snow Leopard) was the last version to ship in a DVD. It cost $29 as did 10.7 and 10.8 which were digital downloads.
    10.9 (Mavericks) is a free download and is installed on all new machine purchases.
    Apple has always included the iLife apps with each machine purchase. With the introduction of 10.9 the iWorks suite (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) are also included with a new machine purchase at no charge.
    Look in the HD / Applications folder for your iWork and iLife apps. You shouldn't have to download anything but updates.

  • What the difference between them?

    I want to know the difference between Adobe Photoshop CS4 Classroom in a Book's content and Photoshop CS4 help(pdf file) content.
    Thanks for your help~

    The Classroom in a Book is great for learning your way around.  You get a cd with the book that has the bits and pieces needed for each lesson.  Each lesson takes you through a particular project from beginning to end.  The book provides step by step instructions on what you are doing, why you are doing it and has screen prints showing you where to find the tools and how to enter the settings to get the effect you need.  I like this so much better than some of the video tutorials because you can go at your speed and it is easier to flip a page back and forth than to backtrack on a video tutorial.  It is more in depth - like being in a classroom with a teacher.

  • Carbon & Cocoa- and the difference between them

    As a year old Mac user (meaning, I've been using the Mac for a year, I personally am not a year old) one thing has always had me a bit miffed
    What's the difference between Cocoa and Carbon?
    My understanding is that is has something to do with the appearance of an app- and how it was created.
    Just a little curious, that's all!
    Cheers

  • Difference between char and varchar, also the difference between varchar2

    Hi,
    Can anyone explain me the difference between char and varchar, and also the difference between varchar and varchar2...

    Varchar2 is variable width character data type, so if you define column with width 20 and insert only one character to tis column only, one character will be stored in database. Char is not variable width so when you define column with width 20 and insert one character to this column it will be right padded with 19 spaces to desired length, so you will store 20 characters in the dattabase (follow the example 1). Varchar data type from Oracle 9i is automaticlly promoted to varchar2 (follow example 2)
    Example 1:
    SQL> create table tchar(text1 char(10), text2 varchar2(10))
    2 /
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into tchar values('krystian','krystian')
    2 /
    1 row created.
    SQL> select text1, length(text1), text2, length(text2)
    2 from tchar
    3 /
    TEXT1 LENGTH(TEXT1) TEXT2 LENGTH(TEXT2)
    krystian 10 krystian 8
    Example 2:
    create table tvarchar(text varchar(10))
    SQL> select table_name,column_name,data_type
    2 from user_tab_columns
    3 where table_name = 'TVARCHAR'
    4 /
    TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME DATA_TYPE
    TVARCHAR TEXT VARCHAR2

  • What's ASO&BSO,what are the differences between them?

    Thanks!

    To have a gist, Essbase comes with two multi-dimensional storage options:
    Block Storage Option, the original storage type for Essbase, which permits the full set of Essbase calculation functionality and stores data accessed by sparse and dense dimensions
    Aggregate Storage Option, a more recent introduction, which stores data in quite a different way to Block Storage and is particularly suited to storing read-only data with high dimensionality.

  • What is the difference between mp4 for iphone and mp4 for ipod ?

    I have converted some videos to mp4 and there is a choice to convert to iphone or ipod.
    But what is the difference between them ?
    It cant just be something simple like screen size / resolution.
    Because I have some mp4 videos that will sync with itunes onto my iphone, but not onto my ipod 5th gen.
    Do you have to have both types of mp4 videos, one for the iphone and one for the ipod ?
    If so then thats a right pain the in arse.
    I would have thought mp4 is mp4 and would work on both the iphone and the ipod ?

    There is no difference because as you said Java is platform independenec. However, the installer is platform-dependent so we needed to package the Beans differently.
    All the java classes and libraries are identical

  • What is the difference between the three network carriers and  if i am to use iPhone 5 in Bangladesh, which network carrier should i choose?

    I had one confusion about the network carrier of which one to chose. Actually I do not know the difference between them. Are they related to some sort of sim cards? I would be grateful if anyone could help me to get away this confusion.

    Unless we are in Bangladesh, nobody here can really help you with this.  If you purchased the phone there, you need to do that research for yourself.  You are the one who is there and on the spot so noone else can really help you with that.
    You need to contact the available carriers in your area and see what the differences are for yourself.
    The phone companies supply you with the appropriate sim cards when you take out a contract with them.
    Also, where did you purchase the phone from in the first place and is it an unlocked phone?  If the phone is not unlocked, then it won't work.
