CDS Definition Format

The CDS tab displays the view definition in Core Data Services (CDS) format, which is used in SAP Cloud Application Programming (CAP) model and SAP HANA development.

CDS provides a more abstract, domain-driven way to define data models and views compared to raw SQL. This format is particularly useful when working with CAP applications, enabling data modeling, or migrating view definitions to a CDS-based development approach. CDS views offer additional features like associations and annotations.
