Chapter 11 - ABAP Native SQL

This document discusses using ABAP Native SQL in ABAP programs. It explains that Native SQL allows accessing tables outside of the SAP system and does not require tables to be defined in the ABAP Dictionary. The document demonstrates how to create and populate tables using Native SQL statements enclosed between EXEC SQL and ENDEXEC, and how host variables transport data between SQL and the ABAP program. It also covers using the PERFORMING option to call a subroutine for each row retrieved by a SELECT statement.
