Hello,
you definitively should avoid a select * statement in SAP HANA, this will destroy any performance advantage. With SAP HANA you must reduce the attributes to the minimum you need.
I'm fully aware that this is a change in the approach of programming as it was done (and also proposed by the trainers) in the past.
But we have to change our mind also.
Thanks to all for keeping this rule for SAP HANA in mind: Avoid using select * statements.
For your initial issue: ABAP is not working with tabelowners, so you have to build up the connection to the HANA database with the user who is owner of the table or view in SAP HANA DB.
Regards,
Robert
