How to write ABAP select Queries in SAP ABAP Editor(SE38) for SAP HANA Database

[Former Member]

Hi,

Hi Experts,

Please help me to write select queries in SAP ABAP Editor(SE38) if Data Base is SAP HANA.

What is the difference in Normal Select Query which we are currently using with Select query for SAP HANA Data Base for ABAPers in SAP Editor SE38 Report program.

Also please let me know which method is better in the below two options on SAP HANA database for SAP CRM Developers.

1.SAP select query in ABAP Editor(SE38).

2.BAPI methods to get the data

Please let me know your suggestions as soon as possible

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,

Hema

Hello Hema,

for ABAP, there's no difference between SQL for other databases and SQL for HANA. It's always better to use an API i.e. a BAPI than writing the selects yourself (because you never know if SAP might change the table at a later point in time).
