Lesson: Understanding Core Modeling With SAP HANA
In SAP HANA modeling, table functions are typically used to generate a tabular data set that
is used as a data source in a calculation view. Table functions can be used in SQLScript in a
from clause of a select statement (in other words wherever a standard table identifier is
used). A table function encapsulates the logic in a reusable form so that it can be used many
times in different artifacts.
Table functions can accept one or more input parameters. Table functions are read-only; that
is, they cannot be used to change data. Table functions produce exactly only one tabular
output. Table functions can also call other functions.
