ABAP Database Connectivity ADBC

ABAP Database Connectivity also known as ADBC provides Object Oriented approach to
access the database. You can also access the DB dynamically using the ADBC.

Using ADBC, you can establish Connection the various DB as well as you can execute
Database specific SQL commands. ADBC classes were introduced in ABAP release 6.10,
but they were documented in Database connectivity as part of ABAP release 7.20.

Involved Classes
 CL_SQL_CONNECTION – This class handles the external DB connection. If you
want to connect to any other DB other than your default DB, you need to
instantiate the connection object with connection name.
 CL_SQL_STATEMENT – This class contains methods to execute the DB
operations. When you instantiate an object for SQL, you can pass the Connection
reference of type CL_SQL_CONNECTION. Use the Connection object if you
want to execute the statement on other DB.
 CL_SQL_PREPARED_STATEMENT – This class is inherited from
CL_SQL_STATEMENT. This class will accept the SQL Statement which is ready
to be understood by DB. Since DB doesn’t need to convert translate this to
internal format, you can execute this multiple times and improve the performance
over using CL_SQL_STATEMENT.
 CL_SQL_RESULT_SET – Class would be used to get the result back from the
SQL statements.
 CX_SQL_EXCEPTION – Will raise this exception if any of the error occurs

Demo Program using CL_SQL_STATEMENT

A simple demo program to read the data from default database table T100 using the
provided input.

Variations
You can also provide field = ? in the Query and use the method SET_PARAM to set the
proper data reference to the field in question.

CONCATENATE
`SELECT * `
`FROM T100 `
`WHERE sprsl = '` sy-langu `' `
`AND ARBGB = ?`
INTO lv_query.

* After SQL Instance & Before Executing the statement

DATA: lo_arbgb TYPE REF TO DATA.
GET REFERENCE OF p_arbgb INTO lo_arbgb.
lo_sql->set_param( lo_arbgb ).
