List of all SAP tables by category
After categorizing all SAP Tcodes by modules at http://tcodes.ofsap.com (that I’ve explained on previous post), I’ve also updated another section of ofSAP.com at http://tables.ofsap.com.
At that section, I have categorized the SAP tables whether they are:
- Transparent table.
From SAP help: There is a physical table on the database for each transparent table. The names of the physical table and the logical table definition in the ABAP/4 Dictionary agree. All the business and application data is stored in transparent tables. - Structure.
From SAP help: No data records exist on the database for a structure. Structures are used for the interface definition between programs or between screens and programs. - Cluster table.
From SAP help: Cluster tables contain continuous text, for example documentation. Several cluster tables can be combined to form a table cluster. Several logical lines of different tables are combined to form a physical record in this table category. This permits object-by-object storage or object-by-object access. In order to combine tables in clusters, at least part of the keys must agree. Several cluster tables are stored in one corresponding table on the database. - Pooled table.
From SAP help: Pooled tables can be used to store control data (e.g. screen sequences, program parameters or temporary data). Several pooled tables can be combined to form a table pool. The table pool corresponds to a physical table on the database in which all the records of the allocated pooled tables are stored. - General view structure.
From SAP help: A structure is generated for a view during activation. This structure is used as the interface for the runtime environment. It is not usually displayed in the ABAP Dictionary. - Append structure.
From SAP help: An Append structure defines a subset of fields which belong to another table or structure but which are treated as a separate object in the correction management. Append structures are used to support modifications.
