SAP HANA - Architecture - Database Development Documentation and Tools

Sap Hana Architecture

About

The important SAP HANA guide and tools for Database Development.

After having build the data persistence model with a programming_language, you can add above an analytic model.

The data-persistence model can be queried by:

  • SQL (with a client interface such as ADBC or JDBC).
  • or HTTP (with an application service) See Core Data Service

Programming Language

Sap Hana Studio Database Development

To define the data-persistence model, the following languages can be used:

  • SQLScript,
  • the .hdbtable syntax family (hdbview, hdbsequence,…),
  • or Core Data Services (CDS)

Guides

Developer

SAP HANA Developer Guide for Studio

  • Build a data model (persistence|analytics)
  • Create SQLScript procedure
  • Create UDF
  • Build SQL Query

Modeling

Modeling

  • Explains how to use the SAP HANA modeler to create information models based on data that can be used for analytical purposes.
  • Create attribute, analytic, and calculation views
  • Create decision tables
  • Import/Export data

SQL System Views

SQL System Views

  • Describes all SQL data types, predicates, operators, expressions, functions, statements, and error codes.
  • Query state of SAP HANA using SQL commands

SQLScript Reference

SQLScript Reference. See SAP HANA - SQLScript

  • Describes how to use the SQL extension SAP HANA SQLScript to embed data-intensive application logic into SAP HANA.
  • Build SQL scripts
  • Create UDFs
  • Build SQL procedures

SQLScript Command Network Protocol

SQLScript Command Network Protocol

  • Describes the SQL Command Network Protocol that is used by SAP HANA clients to communicate with SAP HANA.
  • Define routes for SQL statements
  • Set up authentication (SAML…)
  • Handle large data objects
  • Enable distributed transactions

Core Data Services (CDS)

SAP HANA Core Data Services (CDS) Reference

  • Explains how to use Core Data Services (CDS) to build design-time data-persistence models in SAP HANA Extended Application Services. The data-persistence model defines the data to expose in response to client requests via HTTP, for example, from an SAPUI5-based application.
  • Create CDS Documents
  • Define tables, table types, and SQL views
  • Define associations between data objects
  • Import data into a table
