- DDIC-Based View, SELECT

SELECT $[DISTINCT$] ${ select_list
                    FROM data_source
                    $[ association1 association2 ...$] $}
                $| ${ FROM data_source
                    $[association1 association2 ...$]
                    {select_list} $}
                  $[clauses$]

Effect

The SELECT statement defines a query performed on the data sources specified in data_source for a CDS DDIC-based view, as part of the statement DEFINE VIEW. Possible data sources are DDIC database tables, DDIC database views, or other non-SQL CDS entities.

• select_list defines the components read in a list.

• association1, association2, ... define CDS associations for the current SELECT statement. These CDS associations can be accessed in data_source and in select_list using path expressions.

• DISTINCT removes duplicates from the results list. If DISTINCT is specified, the elements cannot have the type LCHR, LRAW, STRING, RAWSTRING, or GEOM_EWKB.

Both variants of the code are equivalent. Curly brackets { } must be used in the second variant before and after the select_list.

The optional addition clauses are SELECT clauses that enable conditions, groupings, and unions.

Example

The CDS view business_partner_role defined here is a view of an existing CDS view business_partner. An element bp_role is defined in the SELECT list and given the comment Business partner role. Any duplicate values of the element are removed using DISTINCT.

@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'BPA_ROLE_VW'
define view business_partner_role as
  select distinct
         from business_partner
         ${ business_partner.role //Business partner role
         $}

The CDS view business_partner_role can be addressed in ABAP programs using , for example:

SELECT * FROM business_partner_role INTO TABLE @itab ...

The addition DISTINCT of SELECT is no longer needed in this case.
