  • Key Concepts: 
    A table is a data structure used in SAP Data Services (EIM-DS) to store and organize data. Tables are composed of columns and rows, where each column represents a field of data and each row represents a record. Tables can be used to store data from multiple sources, such as databases, flat files, and other applications. 
    
    How to use it: 
    Tables can be used to store data from multiple sources in a single location. To create a table, you must first define the columns that will make up the table. Each column must have a name and a data type. Once the columns are defined, you can add data to the table by importing it from an external source or manually entering it into the table. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    When creating tables, it is important to ensure that the data types of each column are compatible with the data that will be stored in them. For example, if you are storing numerical values in a column, make sure that the column is set to a numerical data type. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all columns have unique names so that they can be easily identified when querying the table.
