HANA – Most Common SQL Statements

Finding index and primary keys of tables

SELECT IFNULL(CONSTRAINT,'NUNIQUE'),

INDEX_NAME,COLUMN_NAME 

FROM INDEX_COLUMNS WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = '%s'

AND TABLE_NAME = '%s' 

ORDER BY INDEX_OID,POSITION

Show details of users that have been logged-in

select * from "SYS"."USERS"

where "LAST_SUCCESSFUL_CONNECT" is not null

order by 9 desc;

To get all Libraries

select to_char(definition) from public.libraries 

where schema_name='EXT';

To get all DDL

call get_object_definition('<SCHEMA>','<TABLENAME>');

ALTER TABLE schema.table ADD PRIMARY KEY (column1,column2)

Check invalid custom DB views

select * from "SYS"."VIEWS"

where schema_name not like 'SAP%' and is_valid = 'FALSE';

Check inactive custom DB objects

select * from "_SYS_REPO"."INACTIVE_OBJECT"

where "PACKAGE_ID" not like 'sap%';

Check which SAP language settings are being used by current user

select session_context('LOCALE_SAP'),

session_context('LOCALE') 

from dummy;

## Search executed SQL statements, 

e.g. to find out who deleted a table

select * from "SYS"."M_EXECUTED_STATEMENTS" 

where "STATEMENT_STRING" LIKE 'DROP TABLE%';

Show custom settings within global.ini and indexserver.ini

select * from "SYS"."M_INIFILE_CONTENTS"

where ("LAYER_NAME" = 'SYSTEM' or "HOST" <> ") 

and ("FILE_NAME" = 'global.ini' 

or "FILE_NAME" = 'indexserver.ini');

Show assigned user roles

select * from "SYS"."GRANTED_ROLES"

where "GRANTEE_TYPE" = 'USER';

Show assigned repository privileges

select * from "SYS"."GRANTED_PRIVILEGES"

where object_type = 'REPO';

Show objects owned by non-system users

select * from "SYS"."OWNERSHIP"

where owner_name not like 'SAP%' and owner_name not like '%SYS%'

order by 1,2;

Analyze expensive statement trace
