SAP R/3 Advanced Interview Question # 5 - What is a Logical Database in SAP?

Q). What is a logical database?

Answer:

This is one of the most commonly asked questions in a SAP technical interview. A logical database is simply an ABAP program that combines the contents of database tables. A logical database is linked to an ABAP report program as one of the program attributes. It supplies the ABAP report program with a set of hierarchically structured table entries derived from different database tables. This saves the developer from having to program the data retrieval. The logical database term covers both the program and the dataset.
