SAP HANA® 2.0 SPS07 SQLScript for SAP HANA [HA150]

OVERVIEW

To maximize the performance of data models and applications running on SAP HANA, it is essential that all data related tasks are effectively and according to best practices programmed at the database level. The language used is SQL and its SAP HANA specific extended variant called SQLScript.

This course covers programming with SQL and SQLScript in the SAP HANA database and includes all key areas for writing efficient declarative and imperative code and much more. Through examples and exercises you will be guided through recommended approaches from SAP intensively.

This course is based on SAP HANA 2.0 and uses SAP Web IDE / SAP HANA extended application services but is useful as well for customers coming from SAP HANA 1.0 using SAP HANA studio / XSC and other SQL clients.
