Table Maintenance Generator

Hi,
Today i will try to answer the below question?
Why we have to go for Table maintenance generator, when we can edit the table by SE16 or SE11, utilities->create entries?
Answer.
In the production system, end-users will not be having access to transaction codes like SE11 and
SE16. Developers will not be having access to many transaction codes including the above two.
To view the contents of the database table, we will use SE16n in Production system. Please find out the difference between SE16 and SE16n.
All these authorizations will be maintained by BASIS team, by creating access profiles.
So in order to edit or create the contents of a database table, we should go for table maintenance generator. In real time, authorizations will be maintained in production system. (even in development and Test systems to some extent). There is an audit like Sarbanes-Oxley Act for American clients, where every thing will be audited by government agency. To know more about SOX, use the links on the right hand side of this page.


The second reason is, we can edit or create multiple entries at a time, using table maintenance generator. Apart from that we have options like 'Enter conditions' in table maintenance screen SM30. Please try to find out the use of those, by creating an example.

I will try to answer remaining questions asked by Mohan.
