Overview

In order to maximize the performance of data models and applications running on SAP HANA, it is essential that all data related tasks are programmed at the database level. The language used is SQL and its very special extended variant called SQL Script. This short course covers programming with SQL and SQL Script on the SAP HANA database and includes all key areas for writing efficient declarative and imperative code. You will also be guided on the use of recommended approaches.

This course assumes students already have a basic knowledge of standard SQL and the focus is on SQL Script. But the course does include excellent and comprehensive coverage of standard SQL in the appendix for those who need to start from the very beginning. The appendix content will not be covered in class and is for offline use only.

This course is based on SAP HANA 2.0 and uses Web IDE / XSA but is useful for customers working with SAP HANA 1.0 using Studio / XS.
