Steps to reproduce the issue

execute report ZCRMS4_ORDER_SEARCH_PROD_SOLD with variant ISSUE:

It will take on average 16~18 seconds to finish the query.
I execute the report 5 times with ST05 trace to get this average performance.

export the planViz file:


and open this file in HANA studio, it shows only 2.8 seconds is consumed. why?

When I paste the following SQL statement from ST05 into HANA studio and execute it there:

The performance is also quite good:

So why there is such a big performance gap when CDS view is read from ABAP and read from HANA studio?
( could only be directly executed, but not under visual plan )

Help provided from HANA support colleague

Jerry has followed the proposal from HANA support colleague Phoebe to use fixed LIMIT value, that is, to use a hard code UP TO 100 ROWS.
After that the performance in ABAP is now equal to in HANA studio - it takes only around 2 seconds to finish the query.

Unfortunately, this limit value is specified by end user from UI, we from application side should never hard code it in our code.
