Features of SAP HANA

SAP HANA is a combination of software and hardware innovation to process huge amount of real time
Based on multi core architecture in distributed system environment.
Based on row and column type of data-storage in database.
Used extensively in Memory Computing Engine (IMCE) to process and analyze massive amount of rea
It reduces cost of ownership, increases application performance, enables new applications to run on r
It is written in C++, supports and runs on only one Operating System Suse Linux Enterprise Server 11

Need for HANA

Due to increase in Data Volume, it is a challenge for the companies to provide access to real time da
It involves high maintenance cost for IT companies to store and maintain large data volumes.
Due to unavailability of real time data, analysis and processing results are delayed.

Features of In-Memory Database
SAP HANA is Hybrid In-memory database.
It combines row based, column based and Object Oriented base technology.
It uses parallel processing with multicore CPU Architecture.
Conventional Database reads memory data in 5 milliseconds. SAP HANA In-Memory database reads da

It means, memory reads in HANA database are 1 million times faster than a conventional database ha
Advantages of In-Memory Database
HANA database takes advantage of in-memory processing to deliver the fastest data-retrieval speeds,
Disk-based storage is still the enterprise standard and price of RAM has been declining steadily, so me
In-Memory Column-based storage provides data compression up to 11 times, thus, reducing the stora
This speed advantages offered by RAM storage system are further enhanced by the use of multi-core

Informational modeler only works for column based storage tables.

Types of Information Views:

Attribute View
Analytic View
Calculation View

Row Store Vs Column Store:

In a Column store table, Data is stored vertically. So, similar data types come together as shown in the
SAP HANA stores data in both row and Column based structure. This provides Performance optimizatio

Benefits of Column Store:

Data compression
Faster R/W access as compared to conventional row storage
Flexibility & parallel processing
perform aggregations & calculations at higher speed

Data Storage Methods in column Store:

Dictonary Compressed: cells are stored in form of numbers in tables and numeral cells are always per

Functional Difference: Row vs Column Store

Column store will be preferred for aggregate functions like sum,min max for better performance optim
Row store is used when we need to display from whole row.
Information Modeling Views

Attribute View
Attributes are non-measurable elements in database table.
Represents master data,similar to charateristics of BW
Are dimensions in database or used to join dimensions

Features:
Represents master data
Used in analytical & calculation view
Used to filter size of dimension tables in analytical & calculation view

Naming Conventions: AT_*

Subtype :
Standard is a normal attribute view
Time - time dependant master data
Derived - Changes in copied or base view needs to be done first to reflect changes in derived view

Semantics - Fields selected for output

Data Foundation - source tables for attribute view

General optimization rules of HANA

1. Keep result set small - avoid check on data select in a loop
2.Minimize amount of transferred data - use select field list instead of select * ; use aggregate function
3.minimize number of data transfers
4. Minimize search overheads
5.keep load away from databases
