HANA Performance
Wir führen zusammen mit Ihnen eine Analyse des Systems durch. Dazu benötigen wir keinen direkten Zugriff zu dem betroffenen System. Mit direktem Zugriff via HANA Cockpit können wir den Vorgang auch individualisieren. Unter den Prüfungen befinden sich ebenso Empfehlungen zur Partitionierung.
SAP HANA News by XLC
In the world of modern database management systems, query performance is not just a matter of hardware—it’s about smart execution plans. At the core of generating these plans lies a critical component: optimizer statistics.
This article explores why databases need optimizer statistics, with particular emphasis on SAP HANA, while drawing parallels with Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL), and IBM DB2.
Please notice that when you want to run HANA 2.0 SPS07, you need defined OS levels. As you can see RHEL7 and SLES12 are not certified for SPS07. The SPS07 release of HANA is the basis for the S/4HANA release 2023 which is my recommended go-to release for the next years. Keep in mind that you have to go to SPS07 when you are running SPS06 because it will run out of maintenance end of 2023.
