Use Select single if all the primary keys are provided else
use select up to 1 rows as that would be faster.I agree
with Aditya..

Answer / s.k.

Hi All ,
Actually in Select single * only one record is fetched
which ever come across first in data base query , but for
statment select ..upto 1 row , all records are fetched into
a buffer which are satisfied from Where condition in Data
base query , and from buffer first record is fetched .
So Select Single * is better for performance.

Answer / vijayaraghavan

Select Single * will pickup only one matching record from the database into the buffer, and returns the same to the internal table.

Select upto 1 rows will pickup all the records matching the condition into the buffer, but return the top record to the internal table.

Answer / vasu

i agree with aditya but if u know all primary key feilds in
that case only u go for select single *..other wise always
select up to n is the best..

Answer / aditya

select single read db records with primary key.
select upto doesnt read for a primary key, instead it will
try to find the most suitable index.
hence select upto is faster than select single.

Answer / stefan wagenblast

As looking on the performance analysis (ST05), both SELECTs
have the same estimated costs (I made a test). So because
estimated costs com from the database system, the same way
of searching in the table will be used --> no difference
which SELECT you use.

Answer / laxmi_nv
