HOW TO EXECUTE SQL STATEMENTS DIRECTLY VIA SQL COMMAND EDITOR IN SAP ST04
GALLERY AUGUST 26, 2013 ERIC LEAVE A COMMENT
Sometimes, you might want to execute a SQL command/script directly without using ABAP program in SAP system. You cannot write an ABAP code in non-development box directly or you do not want to write a full ABAP program just for executing a SQL etc. This post would show you on how to enter SQL code and execute them directly without any ABAP program via SQL command editor function provided by SAP DBA cockpit or SAP ST04 transaction. You got to have SQL knowledge to do this – That is a pre-condition. My environment is based on Oracle 11.0 and SAP ECC 6.0. Contents of the post:
1. What is SAP utilities for executing SQL command directly
2. General steps to execute SQL command in SAP system
3. A few examples
4. Other features of SQL command editor
1 What is SAP utilities for executing SQL command
SAP DBA Cockpit provides a SQL command editor for you to enter a SQL statement/script, parse it, execute it and review the result directly without any ABAP knowledge. You can access SAP DBA Cockpit via SAP transaction code DBACOCKPIT, or SAP transaction ST04, DB02 etc. After you are in SAP DBA cockpit, you can use following path to access SQL command editor functions in the cockpit navigation panel: Performance ->Additional functions -> SQL Command Editor. Double click “SQL Command Editor” to launch the SQL command editor screen – refer to figure 1.
Figure 1 – SAP SQL Command Editor Screen
2 General steps to execute SQL command in SAP system
Now steps to run SQL statement in SQL command editor:
1. Enter SQL command in the “ENTER SQL Statement” tab ( refer to Figure 1 )
2. Parse SQL command via drop-down menu SQL Command -> Parse (F7 key)
3. Execute SQL command via drop-down menu SQL Command -> Execute
4. Review the result – SQL result is showed in “Result” tab of SQL command editor
You can bypass “Parse” step and directly go to “Execute”. If you do that, SAP would combine “Parse” and “execute” in one step. If SQL syntax is not correct, you need to fix the syntax error. You can refer to other online document to understand SQL syntax and how to fix SQL syntax error.
Please take note some SAP ABAP SQL KEY words is not supported in SQL command editor like Single etc. and some Operators like “EQ” cannot be used as well.

3 A few examples to execute SQL statement using SQL command editor
Here I would show cases to query data from SAP configuration table, SAP transaction table, SAP SIS table and Oracle system table. I would show example on select on single table, multiple table and oracle hints technically. Hope to give you some basic concept on executing SQL statement via SQL command editor.
3.1 Retrieve SAP Configuration data – one table
In this example, we need to get company description for a list of company code from SAP table T001 table. The SQL is
SELECT mandt, bukrs, butxt
FROM t001
WHERE mandt = ‘430’ AND
bukrs IN (‘0001’, ‘AU01’)
ORDER BY bukrs
Enter above SQL statement into “Enter SQL Statement”, Do parsing(F7), then execute (F8), Data is returned in Result tab. Please refer to Figure 2.
Figure 2 retrieve company description via SQL command editor

3.2 Retrieve SAP transactional data – two tables
This SQL is to get order information from order header VBAK and order item table VBAP.
SELECT h.vbeln, l.posnr, l.matnr, l.kwmeng
FROM vbak h, vbap l
WHERE h.vbeln = l.vbeln
h.vbeln = ‘0010033682’
Please refer to Figure 3 for the SQL and result.

3.3 Retrieve data from Oracle system review and table
This is to retrieve information related to an existing SQL based on SQL-ID. Please refer to Figure 4 for detail
