Definition

A large portion of the duration of a dialog step is used for processes that perform read and write operations on the database. This type of database access includes all SAP database interface accesses that are passed on to the database. They represent a subset of the logical database accesses, which also includes the requests that were processed by the local SAP buffer. The time behavior of the direct database accesses depends to a significant degree on the run times in the network and the utilization of the database server.

The direct database accesses are classified into PREPARE, DESCRIBE, OPEN, FETCH/EXEC, CLOSE commands. While the actual database operations (reads/writes) are caused by the calls "FETCH" and "EXEC", the other calls are used to provide data description and as utilities for data organization between database and ABAP/4 database interface.

The SAP cursor cache means that most database accesses consist of OPEN and FETCH/EXEC commands, while the other accesses can be buffered. One or more FETCH operations must precede an OPEN.
