What does the Data Manipulation Language in ABAP allow you to do?

The Data Manipulation Language (DML) in ABAP is primarily used for operations that change data within database tables. This includes executing SQL operations such as INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and SELECT on the database. These operations allow developers to manage the data stored in SAP's databases effectively, enabling the dynamic handling and modification of data as needed.

The other options refer to different functionalities within the database environment. Defining a database schema relates to Data Definition Language (DDL), which is used for creating and modifying the structures of database objects. Performing network transactions is not directly associated with DML but rather involves communication protocols and services that handle data integrity and transaction management across systems. Executing analytical functions pertains to advanced data processing techniques that may not be limited to standard DML operations and are usually performed through specialized SQL extensions or reporting tools, rather than through basic data manipulation commands.
