# ⚗️ Markdown table via ABAP CDS and ABAP SQL
Just a small, non-serious free time SAP BTP project along the lines of: “Is that actually possible?” The answer is: "Yes it is!". You can use ABAP CDS and ABAP SQL statement SELECT to get data from the database directly as a Markdown table. I can't think of a business case for this scenario, but it's nice that it's possible 😂
## Design
There are 4 different ABAP CDS to create a Markdown table output for entries in database table /DMO/AIRPORT:
1) [ZI_MD_HEADER](/src/zi_md_header.ddls.asddls): Headline with needed columns
2) [ZI_MD_ALIGNMENT](/src/zi_md_alignment.ddls.asddls): Alignment of columns
3) [ZI_MD_LINES](/src/zi_md_lines.ddls.asddls): Lines from database table /DMO/AIRPORT
4) [ZC_MD_TABLE](/src/zc_md_table.ddls.asddls): Combines the other 3 ABAP CDS from 1) to 3) by UNION
As UNION has no given sort order I solved this problem via ABAP SQL SELECT ... ORDER BY ...:
```abap
METHOD if_oo_adt_classrun~main.
SELECT * FROM zc_md_table ORDER BY AirportID INTO TABLE @DATA(markdown_table).
out->write( markdown_table ).
ENDMETHOD.
```
