About
With the SAP Connector, you can import metadata definitions for the following SAP table types:
- Transparent: A transparent table is a database table that stores data. You can access the table from non-SAP systems as well, for example, using SQL statements. However, Warehouse Builder uses ABAP code to access transparent tables.
- Cluster: A cluster table is usually used to store control data. It can also be used to store temporary data or documentation. Because cluster tables are data dictionary tables and not database tables, you can only access these tables using ABAP.
- Pooled: This is a logical table that must be assigned to a table pool in the database. A table pool consists of multiple pooled tables. A pooled table is used to store control data such as program parameters. You require ABAP code to access pooled tables.
