Catalog and Content:

In HANA Studio every HANA system has two main sub-nodes, Catalog and Content.

Catalog

• The Catalog represents SAP HANA's data dictionary, i. e. all data structures, tables, and data which can be used.
• All the physical tables and views can be found under the Catalog node.
• This node contains a list of Schemas which a used to categorize tables according to user defined groupings.

Content

• The Content represents the design-time repository which holds all information of data models created with the Modeler.
• Physically these models are stored in database tables which are also visible under Catalog.
• The Models are organized in Packages. The Contents node just provides a different view on the same physical data.
