• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SQADB025 - Context & is still used ?

  The SAP error message SQADB025 typically indicates that a database object (like a table or view) is still being used in some context, which prevents certain operations from being performed on it, such as deletion or modification. This error can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to delete a database table that is still referenced by other objects or when attempting to drop a view that is still in use.
  Cause:
  
  Active References: The object you are trying to modify or delete is still being referenced by other database objects, such as foreign keys, views, or stored procedures.
  Open Transactions: There may be open transactions or sessions that are currently using the object.
  Database Locks: The object might be locked by another process, preventing modifications.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Dependencies: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility) to check for dependencies on the object. Look for foreign keys, views, or other database objects that reference the object in question.
  Check Active Sessions: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any active locks on the object. If there are locks, you may need to wait for the transactions to complete or manually release the locks if appropriate.
  Remove References: If the object is referenced by other objects, you will need to remove those references first. This may involve dropping foreign keys, views, or other dependent objects.
  Commit or Rollback Transactions: Ensure that all transactions that might be using the object are either committed or rolled back.
  Database Administration: If you have the necessary permissions, you can use database administration tools to check for locks or active sessions that might be using the object.
