What is one way to create a core data services view?

Creating a core data services (CDS) view is primarily accomplished through the use of annotations that are marked with the @ sign. This approach is foundational in defining data models in SAP HANA as these annotations provide metadata about the various elements of the CDS view. They allow developers to specify aspects such as data types, UI properties, and behavior of the data, effectively enhancing the structure and usability of the views created.

For example, annotations can indicate how fields should be displayed in user interfaces or can dictate certain data behavior during transactions. This structured use of annotations makes CDS views potent tools in SAP for accessing data with rich semantics, adhering to best practices in SAP programming.

In contrast, using data service tools for updates does not pertain to the creation of CDS views. SQL capabilities for Netweaver may play a role in database interactions, but they don't directly facilitate the creation of a CDS view. Lastly, while programming languages can interact with HANA and data services, they don't have the specific annotations needed for defining a CDS view, which is unique to the HANA environment.
