  Overview:
  EW16 is a SAP transaction code used to record the number of the largest tables in a database. It is used to identify and analyze the size of the tables in a database. This helps to optimize the performance of the database by reducing the size of large tables. 
  
  Functionality: 
  EW16 allows users to view the number of records in each table, as well as the total size of each table. This information can be used to identify which tables are taking up too much space and need to be optimized. Additionally, it can be used to identify which tables are not being used and can be deleted or archived. 
  
  Step-by-step How to Use: 
  1. Enter transaction code EW16 in the command field. 
  2. Select the database you want to analyze from the drop-down list. 
  3. Click on “Execute” to view the list of tables in the database and their respective sizes. 
  4. Select a table from the list and click on “Display” to view its details, such as number of records and total size. 
  5. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for all tables in the list. 
  6. Once you have identified which tables need to be optimized, you can use other SAP tools such as SE14 or SE16 to delete or archive them. 
  
  Other Recommendations: 
  It is recommended that users regularly use EW16 to monitor their databases for large tables that need to be optimized or deleted. Additionally, users should also use other SAP tools such as SE14 or SE16 to delete or archive large tables that are no longer needed.
