Hi,

Views, matchcodes and lock up objects are called as aggregate objects since they are formed using several related tables.

<b>Views</b> : a virtual table tailored to the needs of an application is needed, making it possible to directly access specific data.

<b>Lockup objects</b> : Simultaneous accessing of the same data record by two users in the SAP system is synchronised by a lock mechanism. When Dialog transactions are programmed, the locks are set and released by calling certain function modules. these FMs are automatically generated from the definition of so-called lock objects in the ABAP/$ dictionary.

<b>

Match codes</b> : a tool to help you search for the data records in the system. the match codes are an efficient and user-friendly search aid for cases where the key of the record is unknown.

Aswin

Aggregate objects

Views , matchcodes and lock objects are called aggregate objects since they are formed using several related objects

Views: A view is an imaginary table. It contains data, which is really stored in other tables. The contents for the view are dynamically generated when called from program.

Lock objects: These types of objects are used for locking the access to database records in table. This mechanism is used to enforce data integrity that is two users cannot update the same data at the same time. With lock objects you can lock table-field or whole table.

Match codes :

Tool that helps us to search data records in the system.
