Introduction.
This document will walk you through the process of creation of tables and uploading data into HANA database without writing single SQL statement. This tool helps us to create physical table in HANA database in accordance to the sample data set we provide. It removes all the technicalities of modeling and provides an easy to use simple modeling environment with limited functionalities. Hence it bridges the gap between backend system and business users.
It allows Business users to gather their own data, upload it, and combine/compare it with corporate sources. They need not to understand various modeling technicalities, the tool itself is intelligent enough to suggest various joins/Unions etc once it analyses the data.
Hence SAP HANA (SP3) delivers the first version of “Self service data warehousing” solution.
