An SAP HANA view enables you to select data, analyze data or perform calculations with data from the SAP HANA database. SAP HANA views are modeled in SAP HANA Studio for the SAP HANA database. There are various different types of view: attribute views, analytic views and calculation views. You can define and use SAP HANA views in ABAP programs by using external views of the ABAP Dictionary.
