• Key Concepts: 
  Remote tables are a feature of SAP Data Warehouse Cloud - Data Integration (DWC-DI) that allow users to access data stored in remote databases. This feature enables users to access data from multiple sources, such as databases, flat files, and other sources, without having to manually move the data into the SAP system. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use remote tables, users must first create a connection to the remote database. This connection can be established using either an ODBC or JDBC driver. Once the connection is established, users can then create a remote table in the SAP system that points to the remote database. This table can then be used in queries and transformations within the SAP system. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a remote table, it is important to ensure that the data types of the columns in the remote table match those of the columns in the SAP system. This will ensure that data is correctly transferred between the two systems. Additionally, it is important to ensure that any security settings on the remote database are configured correctly so that users have access to the data they need.
