ABAP Dictionary
  1. Activities
    1. Create user-defined types, such as data elements, structures, and table types, for use in ABAP programs or in interfaces of function modules, object methods, and so on
      1. Create the database objects such as tables, indexes, and views in the ABAP Dictionary
        1. Provides a number of services that support program development. For example, the ABAP Dictionary supports setting and releasing locks. defining an input help, and attaching a field help to a screen field.
        2. functions
          1. Define the tables and database views. the system creates these tables and views in the underlying database with the definition in ABAP Dictionary. Changes to the definition of a table or database view are also automatically made in the database.
            1. Define indexes in the ABAP Dictionary to speed up access to data in a table. the system also creates these indexes in the database when the table is activated.

              1. Data elements
                1. Structures

                    1. contains a least one field with a table type
                    2. Nested Structures
                      1. structures that include another structures
                      2. Include Structures
                        1. mechanism exits to avoid redundant structures
                      3. Table types
                        1. Transparent Tables
                          1. Fragmentation in tables
                            1. Fragmented Indexes
                              1. delete and create the indexes again
                              2. Fragmented tables
                                1. to reduce fragmentation you have to convert the table
                              3. Size Category
