Explore hashed internal tables in ABAP, where a unique primary key enables fast key-based access, no duplicates or sorting, and operations like insert, read, and delete are performed via keys.
Discover how ABAP classes define attributes and methods, with global and local scopes, using class definitions and implementations; explore interfaces as contracts and the OADT run as executable entry points.
Define a class and create concrete rectangle instances to show each object has its own attributes. Demonstrate instance methods that use importing, exporting, changing, returning, and raising in ABAP.
Explore class data and class methods, showing how static attributes are shared by all instances, accessed via class name or object, and used for global properties like a counter.
Explore instance and class constructors in oops, showing how instance constructors initialize object state with imported parameters and how class constructors run once before the first access.
Explore inheritance and polymorphism in oops, defining superclass and subclass relationships, method overriding, and downcasting to access subclass features, illustrated with vehicle, car, and supercar scenarios.
Examine inheritance and polymorphism with a vehicle car supercar hierarchy, showing superclass constructors, method overriding, and downcasting through practical object creation and display info in Eclipse.
Explore abstract classes as non-instantiable blueprints with abstract methods, and interfaces as contracts with no implementation; see a concrete class implement and extend them through polymorphism with accelerate and brake.
Master event handling by exploring publisher and subscriber patterns, where order and payment events trigger decoupled notifications through handlers, with dynamic subscribe and unsubscribe.
learn to implement encapsulation by hiding private data, exposing a minimal public api with getters and setters, using constructors, and applying read-only access in practical class examples.
Learn how exception handling in ABAP manages runtime errors using try and catch, distinguishing standard and custom exceptions, and applying cx root as the base for all exceptions.
Understand how ABAP SQL translates to native SQL for SAP HANA via the database interface, with built-in client handling and modern cloud features like CDS and RAP.
Explore the ABAP data dictionary (DDIC) as a metadata repository that bridges ABAP programs and the HANA database, enabling reusable domains, data elements, structures, and transparent tables with CDS views.
Create and manage ABAP database tables in the HANA environment via the ABAP dictionary, defining primary keys, annotations, and client-dependent structures for customer, customer archive, account, and account transaction tables.

Master the basics of the SQL select statement to read data from hana tables, including single row fetch, star and specific columns, and loading results into work areas.
Learn to sort results with order by and distinct. Sort by single or multiple columns and combine distinct with order by to produce ordered, unique rows using ascending or descending.
