Select or BAPI is to be used

Hi Abapers,

Selecting entries directly from table is good programming practice or to use BAPI instead of direct use of select so and so table...

If you want to read data from database for further processing it is better to use Select statement. BAPI can be used in some cases, but processing time will be more than Select statement if all primary keys exists...

Hi Mohammed,

Generally in case of selecting values from tables,

SELECT (fields) FROM TABLE INTO CORESPONDING FIELDS OF itab - is the recommended method.

BAPI's are generally used in case you want to update database tables in bulk.....

Just for selection BAPIs need not be used.
