Get data from external database

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to get some data from an external database (sql server).

--> I must make some request from my abap program to the sql server

Is there some RFC or ADO equivalent in sap ?

Any idea ? : )

Thx,

I heard about table DBCON which could be usqed with an EXCED SQL statement.

->Someone know how to configure DBCON to connect to an external database (mss) ?

It would be the better solution for my program but I ve never seen any sample use it 😕

Thx for replies,

I have data in an MicrosoftSqlServer and I must import them into my SAP system.

I would like to get the data with native SQL like this way :

tables: dbcon.

 
data: FLAG_CONNECTED(1),
      v_conn like dbcon-CON_NAME.
 
*v_conn = 'MAR62'.

select single con_name from dbcon into v_conn where DBMS = 'MSS'.

 
EXEC SQL.
 
        set connection :v_conn
ENDEXEC.

-> I have made an entry in DBCON and i ve try to add it in DBACOCKPIT but I get an error :

function unit: DB6_DIAG_GET_SYSTEM_BASICS

method : SYNCHRONIZE_SYSTEM_DATA

REASON : ADBC ERROR

What is the excact way to run my sample ?

thx for replies : )

Hi,

Try This

EXEC SQL.

CONNECT TO 'FP_CONNECT'

ENDEXEC.

IF sy-subrc NE 0.

WRITE / 'CONNECTION FAILED' COLOR COL_NEGATIVE.

ENDIF.

EXEC SQL PERFORMING READ_DATA.

SELECT *

FROM TABLE

INTO STRUCTURE.

ENDEXEC

FORM READ_DATA.

WRITE : / STRUCTURE.

ENDFORM

Hope this will read data from External Data base table or view.

Thanks,

Kishore
