DATABASE TABLE

1. What is delivery class, data class?

Delivery class controls the transport of table data during installation, upgradation and
transportation between one client system to another client system.

The data class defines the physical area of the database in which your table is logically stored.

Technical settings, Delivery and maintenance, fields,

4. What is change document, tables for change document?

Change documents are change transactions that reflect the change process
during development, testing, and implementation.

With the help of the change document log we can track the changes made to the
document.

Change document log/ document is stored in CDHDR (header table) and CDPOS (item
table).

15. What is field level validation?

16. What is domain level validation?

Maintaining the value table in domain level is called domain level validation.

17. Difference between check table and value table?

CHECK TABLE VALUE TABLE
The check table will carry out the check for value table will provide values on F4 help for
input values for the table field being entered that table field.
in any application.
The check table defines the foreign keys and The value table is part of the domain
is part of the table definition. definition.

check table is validation at field level value table is validation at domain level

Value table is defined at the domain level and

is used to provide F4 help for all the fields
which refer to that domain

18. while creating foreign key relationships, if we don't provide the value table what will
happen?
It won't show the check table name in generate proposal.
 19. What is the tcode for database utility, why we need this?

23. how to transfer the records of one table to another table.
Goto SE11 --> Enter Z table name --> Select Menu path Dictionary Object -> COPY
24. How to rename the database table?
We can’t change the database table name
25. What is cardinality and their types?
The cardinality (n:m) describes the foreign key relationship with regard to the number of
possible dependent records (records of the foreign key table) or referenced records
(records of the check table).
The left side (n) of the cardinality is defined as follows:
● n=1
There is exactly one record assigned to the check table for each record of the
foreign key table.
● n=C
The foreign key table can contain records that do not correspond to any record of
the check table because the foreign key field is empty. This can occur, for
example, if the field of the foreign key table is optional, in which case it does not
have to be filled.
The right side (m) of the cardinality is defined as follows:
● m=1
There is exactly one dependent record (record of the foreign key table) for each
record of the check table.
● m=C
There is at most one dependent record for each record of the check table.
● m=N
There is at least one dependent record for each record of the check table.
● m=CN

done either automatically or manually, depending on the client settings.

Changes without automatic recording

Changes are not automatically recorded. It is, however, possible to make manual recordings.
2. Automatic recoding of changes
All changes are automatically recorded.
3. No changes allowed
