Summary :
SAP Note addresses database performance within SAP Business Warehouse (BW). Detailed are table types integral for BW, such as Fact and Dimension tables, alongside their indexing strategies. Temporary tables impacting performance also discussed, including options for controlling their generation through specific SAP parameters. Star transformation for InfoCube queries is explained, breaking down its reliance on Bitmap indexes and factors causing non-implementation despite hints. Guidance encompasses database index architecture, including performance optimization through design adjustments specific to table types and system version dependent practices. Recommendations for query optimization and related utilities are provided.
