Hi,

what exactly difference b/w standard and sorted internal tables in performance wise?

Hi,

Standard Internal Tables:

These tables have a linear index and can be accessed using the index or the key. The response time is in linear relationship with number of table entries. These tables are useful when user wants to address individual table entries using the index.

Sorted Internal Tables: These tables also have an index and the key. But, the response time is in logarithmic relationship with number of table entries, since it uses binary search algorithm instead of linear search. These tables are useful when user wants the table to be sorted while additional entries have to be added.

Hi Madhu,

Standard Internal Tables: These tables have a linear index

and can be accessed using the index or the key. The response

time is in linear relationship with number of table entries.

These tables are useful when user wants to address

individual table entries using the index.

2.Sorted Internal Tables: These tables also have an index

and the key. But, the response time is in logarithmic

relationship with number of table entries, since it uses

binary search algorithm instead of linear search. These

tables are useful when user wants the table to be sorted

while additional entries have to be added.

3.Hashed Internal Tables: These tables have no index, but

have the key. The response time is constant irrespective of

number of table entries, since it uses a Hash algorithm.

These tables are useful when user wants to access the

entries with key only.
