There was a standard process in our system which sends a text as the body of a mail, after a certain operation is completed. For this program a change had been done so that the program could send a custom SMARTFORM as a PDF attachment beside to the text body. This change had been done as a repair in a program. So far so good, everything was working fine.

I think there are very few advantages of ADBC method but on the other hand many disadvantages that demotivates to use.
test your SQL statement before using it in your ABAP program
For a long time i thought that there is a missing SQL console feature integrated in SAP functionality. With ABAP 7.4 and usage of Eclipse as IDE, SAP succeded to fulfill this gap with new Eclipse SQL Console. Actually before this feature, there was a similar feature that we could use for the same aim.
