• Key Concepts: 
  Full buffering is a feature of the ABAP Dictionary in SAP that allows for the storage of data in the main memory of an SAP system. This feature allows for faster access to data, as it eliminates the need to access the database each time a query is made. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Full buffering can be enabled for a table in the ABAP Dictionary by setting the “Buffer” flag to “X”. This will cause all data from the table to be stored in the main memory of the SAP system. Once enabled, all queries made against this table will be served from the main memory, rather than from the database. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When enabling full buffering, it is important to consider the size of the table and how much memory it will require. If a table is too large, it may not fit into the main memory and full buffering will not be effective. Additionally, if a table is frequently updated, full buffering may not be suitable as it will require frequent updates to keep the data in sync with the database.
