- Table Category of Database Tables

Transparent Tables

The default table category is the transparent table. In transparent tables, the database object has an identically named variant with the same columns as in the definition in the ABAP Dictionary. The fields of transparent tables can be processed using Native SQL or AMDP as well as using . Outside AS ABAP, they can be processed using the programming interface of the database. The latter method is, however, not recommended.

Global Temporary Tables

Global temporary tables are a further category of table. A global temporary table (GTT) is a special transparent table used exclusively as a repository of temporary data during a database LUW.

Note

The ABAP Dictionary tool of the ABAP Workbench makes it possible to transform DDIC database tables from one category to another. To create a different table category as a transparent table, a transparent table must be created first and then transformed into a different table category. In Dictionary DDL, the table category is defined using the annotation @AbapCatalog.tableCategory.
