Chapter 05 - Retrieving Data With SELECT Statements

This document discusses using SELECT statements in ABAP to retrieve data from database tables. It introduces SQL and its components like DML, DDL, and DCL. It then explains the basic SELECT statement and how to retrieve fields into a work area or structure using the INTO and CORRESPONDING FIELDS clauses. It also emphasizes the importance of checking the SY-SUBRC system field to determine if a SELECT statement was successful. Examples are provided and a demonstration and practice are outlined to apply these concepts.

Summary

 SQL has three main components:


 Data Manipulation Language (DML):
 Data Definition Language (DDL):
 Data Control Language (DCL):
 The DML provides the four basic data operations:
 Select (retrieve)
 Insert
 Update
 Delete
 Open SQL is a subset of standard SQL with a specific syntax recognised by
ABAP.
