SAP HANA & Sybase!

SAP HANA?

HANA, which will be available in appliance form from a number of hardware partners,
places data to be processed in RAM instead of reading it off disks, adding a performance boost.
HANA is built on a superset of technologies with a long history at SAP,
including the MaxDB database and TREX in-memory engine.
Data held in memory by HANA is backed by a persistence layer that logs
transactions and incorporates savepoints that create images of the database,
according to an SAP document. This allows it to be restored in the event of a power outage or other disruption.
HANA is compatible with any BI (business intelligence) application that supports common query languages like SQL and MDX.

HANA is not a database, it is an appliance (hardware + software). SAP sells these to large customers;
a typical HANA installation has 2 Terabyte of memory.
The database software inside HANA is a custom-developed database engine by SAP,
optimized for in-memory handling of analytic workload patterns. To the best of my knowledge,
it is not available for download.

HANA with Sybase ?

As per recent IDC Report, SAP would be pushing this HANA technology in
ASE & IQ and our Rep server would be replicating the data from HANA Appliance.

If HANA is going to be part Sybase ASE/IQ/REP then it will certainly enhance the
ASE functionality and performance. If you want more about HANA , please refer below links :

Sybase: PowerBuilder and PowerDesigner

• Sybase PowerBuilder is a RAD tool that lets you develop rich GUI applications,

based on the DataWindow concept.I’ve been told that part of the

SAP POS module is actually developed  with PowerBuilder.

• Sybase PowerDesigner is a modeling tool that lets you handle anything from a 

data model to a full enterprise architecture, and is widely seen as

one of the best such tools around.

Both PowerBuilder and PowerDesigner are not tied to any specific database and will work with most common database brands.

 

Sybase ASE History !

Guys,

You must be interested in the Sybase ASE history. Here is the Link where Rob has put down all in one notes :

http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/24275

” A German software company that was yet little-known in the USA, approached Sybase because they wanted to run their application on Sybase SQL Server — the most popular financial database, after all.  However, their application was designed such that it caused too many concurrency problems (locking) in Sybase SQL Server. The Germans therefore requested Sybase to implement row-level locking to solve this problem (at that point, Sybase only supported page-level and table-level locking). Accounts differ on the reasons why, but Sybase declined the request. What happened next is history: SAP (you guessed it, right?) ended up running on all major databases except Sybase, and consequently Sybase missed out on the big wave of ERP-driven business in the rest of the 1990’s (Sybase did eventually implement row-level locking in version 11.9, offering a choice of three different lock schemes). 
Now that SAP has acquired Sybase, and Business Suite will be running on Sybase ASE later this year, history has more or less come full circle. I’m confident that ASE will be a great platform for SAP ERP, albeit indeed a bit late.”
