• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DA662 - Table &1 with GEOM_EWKB column has a classic nametab, not RTOBJ ?

  The SAP error message DA662 indicates that there is an issue with a database table that contains a GEOM_EWKB column. Specifically, the error states that the table has a classic nametab instead of the required RTOBJ nametab. This can occur in the context of using spatial data types in SAP HANA or other database systems that support spatial data.
  
  Cause:
  
  Table Definition: The table in question is defined with a classic nametab, which is not compatible with the requirements for handling spatial data types like GEOM_EWKB.
  Database Configuration: The database may not be configured correctly to support the spatial features required for the GEOM_EWKB column.
  Legacy Tables: The table may be a legacy table that was created before the introduction of the RTOBJ nametab, which is necessary for spatial data handling.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Modify Table Definition:
  
  You need to change the table definition to use the RTOBJ nametab. This typically involves altering the table structure in the database.
