• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 61202 - SQL error: Error in the DELETE (Table: & ) ?

  The SAP error message 61202, which indicates an SQL error during a DELETE operation, typically arises when there is an issue with the database operation that is trying to delete records from a specified table. Here are some common causes, potential solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  
  Foreign Key Constraints: The record you are trying to delete may be referenced by other tables through foreign key constraints. If there are dependent records in other tables, the delete operation will fail.
  
  
  Locking Issues: The table or the specific record may be locked by another transaction, preventing the delete operation from being executed.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the delete operation may not have the necessary permissions to delete records from the specified table.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be data integrity issues, such as invalid data or constraints that prevent the deletion.
  
  
  Database Corruption: In rare cases, there could be corruption in the database that is causing the delete operation to fail.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Foreign Key Constraints: Review the database schema to identify any foreign key constraints that may be preventing the deletion. You may need to delete dependent records first or modify the constraints.
  
  
  Release Locks: If the table or record is locked, you can check for active sessions or transactions that may be holding the lock. You may need to wait for the lock to be released or terminate the session if appropriate.
  
  
  Verify Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform delete operations on the specified table. You may need to adjust roles or permissions.
  
  
  Data Validation: Check the data in the table for any integrity issues. Ensure that the data is valid and meets all constraints before attempting to delete.
  
  
  Database Health Check: If you suspect database corruption, perform a health check on the database. This may involve running consistency checks or consulting with your database administrator.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check table definitions and constraints, and SM12 to view and manage locks.
  Logs and Traces: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) and database logs for more detailed error messages that can provide additional context for the failure.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address specific issues related to error 61202.
