In this blog I will discuss about CDS view.

Before starting CDS view let us understand what do you mean by View.

View is a virtual table, which does not have any physical actuality. View is created by combining two or more tables.

In SAP we have different views like database views, maintenance views, projection views, etc. Each has some advantages and disadvantage.

CDS i.e Core Data Service. This is an Extension of Open SQL. It works on the Data base layer rather than Application layer. CDS View are part of Code Pushdown technique.

CDS views consist of two main components:

  1. The data definition

It specifies the tables and fields that will be used in the view.

2. The data projection

It defines the logic used to select, join, and filter data.

What is ABAP CDS View?

A CDS view is defined on the existing database tables/views/ cds views in ABAP dictionary using specific DDL statement.

NOTE: We can create CDS views in eclipse only.
