  Day 10: Table Functions CDS Table Functions vs Normal CDS SQL Script logic inside TF When to use Table Function over AMDP Hands-on : Create a TF for custom reporting logic 🔹 1. What is CDS Table Function? A CDS Table Function is a special type of CDS view that is powered by AMDP (ABAP Managed Database Procedure) in the background. 💡 Key Idea: CDS Table Function allows you to use SQLScript (procedural logic, loops, conditions, dynamic SQL) to fetch and return data in scenarios where normal CDS views are not sufficient. 🔹 2. CDS Table Function vs CDS View vs AMDP Feature CDS View CDS Table Function AMDP Purpose Declarative modeling Procedural logic for CDS Full procedural logic Logic SQL-like SQLScript SQLScript Performance High (DB pushed) High (DB pushed with SQLScript) High (but used in class methods) Use case Static data modeling Complex logic within CDS Background/Utility logic, not exposed as view UI Integration Easy (Fiori, OData) Limited (only as base data source) Need...
