• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDVIDB560 - Error when deleting GTT & using DB_DROP_TABLE ?

  The SAP error message DDVIDB560 typically occurs when there is an issue related to the deletion of a Global Temporary Table (GTT) in the database, particularly when using the DB_DROP_TABLE command. This error can arise due to various reasons, including database constraints, session issues, or incorrect usage of the command.
  Causes of DDVIDB560
  
  
  Active Sessions: If there are active sessions that are using the Global Temporary Table, you may encounter this error. GTTs are session-specific, and if a session is still holding a reference to the table, it cannot be dropped.
  
  
  Database Constraints: If there are constraints or dependencies on the GTT, such as foreign key relationships, the database may prevent the table from being dropped.
  
  
  Incorrect Command Usage: The command DB_DROP_TABLE may not be used correctly, or the syntax may not be appropriate for the specific database system you are using.
  
  
  Database Locking: The table might be locked by another transaction, preventing its deletion.
  
  
  Insufficient Privileges: The user executing the command may not have the necessary permissions to drop the table.
  
  
  Solutions
  
  
  Check Active Sessions: Ensure that there are no active sessions using the GTT. You can check the database session information to identify any active connections.
  
  
  Release Locks: If the table is locked, you may need to wait for the transaction to complete or manually release the lock if possible.
  
  
  Review Constraints: Check for any constraints or dependencies on the GTT. If there are any, you may need to drop those constraints before attempting to drop the table.
  
  
  Correct Command Usage: Ensure that you are using the correct syntax for the DB_DROP_TABLE command. Refer to the documentation for your specific database system for the correct usage.
  
  
  Check User Privileges: Verify that the user executing the command has the necessary privileges to drop the table. You may need to consult with your database administrator to ensure proper permissions.
  
  
  Use Transaction Management: If you are working within a transaction, ensure that you commit or rollback any open transactions that may be holding onto the GTT.
