The CData JDBC Driver for SAP Fieldglass models SAP Fieldglass objects as relational tables and views. A SAP Fieldglass object has relationships to other objects; in the tables, these relationships are expressed through foreign keys. The following sections show the available API objects and provide more information on executing SQL to SAP Fieldglass APIs.

Schemas for most database objects are defined in simple, text-based configuration files.

The driver offloads as much of the SELECT statement processing as possible to the SAP Fieldglass APIs and then processes the rest of the query in memory. See SupportEnhancedSQL for more information on how the driver circumvents API limitations with in-memory client-side processing. You can turn off client-side execution by setting SupportEnhancedSQL to false in which case any search criteria that refers to other columns will result in unfiltered data being pushed.
