HANA Deep Insert

I have been very impressed with HANA and the ease in which you can expose an OData service for your entities and views. Since starting work on the platform I have found the need to store my entities using a deep insert. I thought surely this was possible, but like many I have been disappointed to find that this is not supported.

Currently the solution to this problem is to place the creates into a batch in the front end. My main issue with this is the parent Id is not returned to me to place into the child objects. I am then forced to place the child create in the success handler of the parent object create, losing the transaction functionality.
