    4 New Features in ABAP Dictionary on SAP HANA

    03/21/2019

    Dear SAPLearners, in this blog post we will learn new features in ABAP Dictionary to support SAP
    HANA Database

    SAP HANA Database


    As per SAP de nition

    SAP HANA is a relational database management system (RDBMS). It combines OLAP and OLTP processing
    into a single in-memory database – eliminating disk bottlenecks and o ering groundbreaking
    performance. This ACID-compliant, in-memory columnar database stores compressed data, o ers parallel
    processing across multiprocessor cores, and supports single instruction multiple data (SIMD) commands.

    4 New Feature in ABAP Dictionary


    Below are the new features available in ABAP Dictionary to support SAP HANA Database.

    1. Storage Type for tables


    All tables created in Data Dictionary(DDIC) now have a new storage type to choose – Column Store
    (or) Row Store. This option is available under a new tab called “DB-speci c Properties” in Technical
    Settings of the table in SE11 transaction code.
    New Storage Types in SAP HANA DB

    This storage type only applies if the current database is an SAP HANA database and is ignored by
    other database systems like Oracle, MSSQL and DB2. There are three storage types to choose from.

    Column Store

    This creates the table in the SAP HANA column store or moves it there. This setting should be used
    in following cases

    The database table is designed for application data analyzed in SAP HANA.
    The database table contains a very large number of rows and the storage type column store
    provides better compression.
    The database table has a full text index.
    The database table contains table elds with HANA data types that are supported only by the
    storage type column store.

    For more detailed explanation please refer standard SAP documentation

    Row Store

    This creates the table in the SAP HANA column store or moves it there. This setting should be used
    in following case

    The database table is used mainly for frequent single row accesses.

    Unde ned

    This is the only setting possible for pooled tables and cluster tables. As there is no point in specifying
    a xed storage type.

    This setting cannot be used for transparent tables.

    Can i change the storage type after table is created?

    Yes, the storage type setting can be changed after the table has been created and the table will be
    moved into the speci ed store. Use this with caution, if the table contains content, as it may involve
    reorganizing the table data.

    2. De-pooling and De-clustering


    Pool tables combine a large number of individual small tables into one database table, which
    addressed problems with large numbers of individual database objects.
    Cluster tables combine information from several tables logically belonging together.

    A new option is available on SAP HANA database as primary database to convert pool and cluster
    tables to transparent tables to support de-pooling and de-clustering.

    This new option is added to “Choose Table Category” dialog window, you can access this dialog
    window under “Extras >> “Change/Display Table Category”
    Under “Choose Table Category” dialog window, you can specify a list of databases on which pool or
    cluster table should be considered as transparent table.

    3. Full Text Indexes


    A new index called Full Text Index is now available for SAP HANA Databases as a secondary table
    index.

    A Full Text index is created on the database at the database table as an additional column – which is
    not visible to the user. Text highlighting, Text Search and Text analysis become possible with this Full
    Text Index

    The following conditions should be met before creating a Full Text Index

    A full text index can only be created for the SAP HANA database and for tables with the storage
    type column store.
    A full text index can only be created for precisely one column in a database table whose built-in
    data type is CHAR, SHORTSTRING, STRING, or RAWSTRING.
    The database table must have a column for the text language.
    4. Deactivation of Secondary Indexes
    Now you can activate secondary indexes selectively in index de nition dialog window
    Deactivate Secondary Index in SAP HANA DB
