SAP Exam C_BCBDC_2505 Topic 2 Question 3 Discussion

A database user in SAP Datasphere serves specific technical and security-related purposes that are distinct from typical modeling activities within the Data Builder. One primary purpose is to directly access the SAP HANA Cloud database of SAP Datasphere. For advanced scenarios, such as debugging, executing complex SQL scripts directly, or integrating with specialized tools that require direct database connectivity, a dedicated database user is essential. This access bypasses the higher-level Datasphere modeling environment and interacts directly with the underlying SAP HANA Cloud instance. Another crucial purpose is to provide a secure method for data exchange for 3rd party tools. When external applications, reporting tools, or data integration platforms need to consume data from or write data into SAP Datasphere's underlying database, a database user provides the necessary authentication and authorization mechanism. This ensures that data exchange is secure and controlled, adhering to defined permissions. Creating graphical views (B) is done via the Datasphere UI with a Datasphere user, and accessing all schemas (C) would typically require broad administrative privileges, which might be granted to specific database users, but the core purpose is controlled access, not carte blanche.
