Performance of Add & Aggregate vs Aggregate & Add in CDS Views

Introduction


When implementing HANA models or CDS views, it is often required to calculate total values of multiple measures in each record and aggregate total values for specific record range. The question is whether we should add measures’ values first and then aggregate them or aggregate component measures first and then total their aggregated values.

Choosing one way or other could make a big difference in the performance of HANA model or CDS view.

This document presents several CDS views that show difference in performance for the above 2 approaches.

The discussed CDS views are adding and aggregating or aggregating and adding 10 measures to expenses and revenue values in custom table containing over 1 million records.

Custom Table used in CDS Views


The following custom table was used in presented CDS views:

@EndUserText.label : 'A Document Item Table'
@AbapCatalog.enhancementCategory : #NOT_EXTENSIBLE
@AbapCatalog.tableCategory : #TRANSPARENT
@AbapCatalog.deliveryClass : #A
@AbapCatalog.dataMaintenance : #LIMITED
define table zaba_adoc {
  @EndUserText.label : 'Document Number'
  key docnum  : abap.char(10) not null;
  @EndUserText.label : 'Item Number'
  key docln   : abap.numc(4) not null;
  doc_date    : budat;
  @EndUserText.label : 'Company Id'
  company     : abap.char(10);
  @EndUserText.label : 'Region'
  region      : abap.char(10);
  @EndUserText.label : 'Store Id'
  store       : abap.char(10);
  @EndUserText.label : 'Property Tax'
  prop_tax    : abap.dec(15,2);
  @EndUserText.label : 'Adertising'
  advertising : abap.dec(15,2);
  @EndUserText.label : 'Administration'
  admin       : abap.dec(15,2);
  @EndUserText.label : 'Payrol'
  payrol      : abap.dec(15,2);
  @EndUserText.label : 'Utilities'
  utilities   : abap.dec(15,2);
  @EndUserText.label : 'Insurance'
  insurance   : abap.dec(15,2);
  @EndUserText.label : 'Sales'
  sales       : abap.dec(15,2);
  @EndUserText.label : 'Rent'
  rent        : abap.dec(15,2);
  @EndUserText.label : 'Royalties'
  royalties   : abap.dec(15,2);
  @EndUserText.label : 'Frenchise'
  frenchise   : abap.dec(15,2);
}

The above table contains over 1 million records. Some table records are shown on the following screen:

CDS Views


The following CDS Views were implemented:

The aggregate and add approach was implemented in the following CDS views:

◉ ZABA_AAVAA_10AGGREGATE_DDL
◉ ZABA_AAVAA_20ADD_DDL

The add and aggregate approach was implemented in the following CDS views:

◉ ZABA_AAVAA_10ADD_DDL
◉ ZABA_AAVAA_20 AGGREGATE_DDL

Aggregate and Add Approach


The following CDS views were developed to implement Aggregate and Add Approach:

@AbapCatalog.sqlViewName: 'ZAVA10AGRDBV'
@AbapCatalog.compiler.compareFilter: true
@AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #CHECK
@EndUserText.label: 'Aggregate Measures First'
define view ZABA_AAVAA_10AGGREGATE_DDL 
  with parameters
    p_dayfr : char8,
    p_dayto : char8
  as select from zaba_adoc as _adoc
{
  key docln,
      count(*)                     as nrecs,
      sum(_adoc.prop_tax)          as prop_tax,
      sum(_adoc.advertising)       as advertising,
      sum(_adoc.admin)             as admin,
      sum(_adoc.payrol)            as payrol,

      sum(_adoc.rent)              as rent,
      sum(_adoc.royalties)         as royalties,
      sum(_adoc.frenchise)         as frenchise

    p_dayto : char8
as select from ZABA_AAVAA_10AGGREGATE_DDL( p_dayfr:$parameters.p_dayfr,
                                           p_dayto:$parameters.p_dayto )  
{
  docln,
  :p_dayfr as day_from,
  :p_dayto as day_to,
  nrecs,
  prop_tax + advertising + admin + payrol + utilities + insurance as expenses,
  sales + rent + royalties + frenchise as revenue
