Summary :
The INDX table is utilized for storing binary packed data, typically used for accommodating large internal data structures using ABAP 'EXPORT TO DATABASE' and 'IMPORT FROM DATABASE' commands. Its contents are identified by a RELID field in its key, allowing segmentation by application usages. Due to potential risks of data corruption and restructuring, data that cannot be reconstituted post-destruction should not be stored in this table. SAP recommends distinct INDX tables for each application to prevent data merging issues between applications using the same RELID, which also aids in swift data identification and reduced collision risk. Key applications and their corresponding RELIDs detail how data storage is managed across various components, emphasizing customized table usage.
