"Choose an SAP HANA Database"... and on-premise? #695

Tutorials: https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/hana-clients-choose-hana-instance.html

Hi, first, thanks for the tutorial, I'm reading it and it is very good. I have a question/request: might you add something about the use of a on-premise hana db? You refer to hana express - that is, if I have understood, a localhosted version - or cloud. What change if I need/have to access to a remote on-premise hana db istance we already have? Thanks a lot!!!

Thank you for the positive feedback.

The steps for SAP HANA, express edition should be the same for a regular on-premise SAP HANA database. You can see that the SAP HANA, express edition documentation refers to the on-premise documentation in this link. https://help.sap.com/viewer/product/SAP_HANA,_EXPRESS_EDITION/2.0.050/en-US?expandAll=true

SAP HANA Platform 2.0 Documentation SAP HANA, express edition is a version of SAP HANA. Follow this link for the complete on-premise SAP HANA Platform >documentation collection.

There are a few differences and I believe they are documented at in the Feature Scope documentation which is also available from the link above.

The SAP HANA Client that is used to access your SAP HANA system from a program (JDBC, ODBC, Node.js, Python etc.) is the same regardless of if you are connecting to an SAP HANA Cloud, express edition, or on-premise HANA.

I hope that helps. I will try to make this more clear in a future revision. Regards, Dan van Leeuwen
