Conversion Using Catalog SQL APIs
Normally conversion is done by reading the HANA Catalog and building a CDS entity defintion dynamically. We then use the cds.compile.to API to convert to the target output format. But this has restrictions of only supporting what CDS allows.
With this option selected, we instead use the SYS.GET_OBJECT_DEFINITION stored procedure. We then strip out the Schema references and CS_* Types to make the output compatible with HDI and HANA Cloud
