Performence - SELECT

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I hv SQL code like,

<i><b>1 - SELECT bname

INTO TABLE bname_itab

FROM vbak

WHERE ernam IN s_ernam

AND bname NE space

AND auart IN s_auart

AND vkorg IN s_org

• and ktokd in s_c_ag

AND vtweg IN s_d_ch

AND spart IN s_div.

2 - SORT bname_itab.

3 - DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM bname_itab.</b></i>

So, the 1st statement is, consuming much time, as there 1000's BNAMEs in VBAK.

So,

How to avoide selecting duplicates in the 1st SELECT statement itself?

I mean, only the new/differed BNAMEs shuld b selected!

(so, I dont use 2ns and 3rd stetents any more)

thanq.

Hi srikar,

To read a several entries from the database, use the following:

SELECT [DISTINCT] <cols> ... WHERE ...

If you do not use DISTINCT (<lines> is then empty), the system reads all of the lines that satisfy the WHERE condition. If you use DISTINCT, the system excludes duplicate entries.

The result of the selection is a table. The target area of the INTO clause can be an internal table with a line type appropriate for <cols>. If the target area is not an internal table, but a flat structure, you must include an ENDSELECT statement after the SELECT statement:
