• Key Concepts: 
  A memory table is a type of table used in SAP Data Services (EIM-DS) to store data temporarily. It is used to store data that is needed for a short period of time, such as during a data transformation or data loading process. Memory tables are not stored in the database, but rather in the memory of the server. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Memory tables are used in SAP Data Services to store data temporarily during a data transformation or loading process. They are created by the system and can be accessed through the Data Services Designer. The data stored in the memory table is only available while the job is running and will be deleted when the job is finished. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using memory tables, it is important to keep in mind that they are not stored in the database and will be deleted when the job is finished. Therefore, it is important to make sure that all necessary data is stored in a permanent table before the job ends.
