regarding pooled & cluster tables.

[Former Member]

Hello Everyone,

plz. tell me why is it not possible to use inner join on Pooled and Cluster tables?

[Former Member]

U can't perform JOIN with Pooled or Cluster tables

trying to join A018 and KONP .... here A018 is Pooled table... Look at below threads...

Each field of cluster/pooled table behaves as tables which contains the no. of entries.So u cant use inner join in cluster and pooled tables.reward if useful.

As our friends have already explained, we can not join pooled and clustered tables, for example when dealing with BKPF and BSEG tables.

The general approach would be using FOR ALL ENTRIES:

codeselect bukrs belne gjahr .....

into table it_bkpf

from bkpf

where <cond>.

select belnr buzei dmbtr ....

into table it_bseg

for all entries in it_bkpf

from bseg

where bukrs = it_bkpf-bukrs

and belnr = it_bkpf-belnr

and gjahr = it_bkpf-gjahr

....[/code]

hi vishal

it is not possible to use the inner join on pooled and cluster tables because in pool table-------the 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.

but wen u comes to

Cluster table -

---

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 type. This permits object-by-object storage or object-by-object access. In order to combine tables in clusters, at least parts of the keys must agree. Several cluster tables are stored in one corresponding table on the database.

for example take BSEG table ,in that

BSEG itself is a table and BUZID is the field which stores the line item of A/c Document. Due to cluster table U can't join this table as inner join.that is the bseg table is clustering the fields when it is joining with other fields.so it will leads to errrors finally.

thats y we wont use those both.

reply me if u neeed more clarification

thanks

hi,

pooled tables:

These are logical tables, which must be assigned to a table pool when they are defined. Pooled tables can be used to store control data (such as screen sequences or program parameters).

cluster tables:

A table cluster combines several logical tables in the ABAP/4 Dictionary. Several logical rows from different cluster tables are brought together in a single physical record. The records from the cluster tables assigned to a cluster are thus stored in a single common table in the database.

Transparent Table:

A physical table definition in the database for the table definition which is stored in the ABAP Dictionary for transparent tables when the

table is activated. The table definition is translated from the ABAP

Dictionary to a definition of the particular database.

Pooled table:

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.

Cluster table:

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 type. This permits object-by-object storage or

object-by-object access. In order to combine tables in clusters, at

least parts of the keys must agree. Several cluster tables are stored in

one corresponding table on the database.
