Query SAP HANA

To query SAP HANA with Flux:

1. Import the sql package.

2. Use sql.from() and provide the following parameters:

   • driverName: hdb
   • dataSourceName: See data source name
   • query: SQL query to execute

import "sql"

sql.from(
    driverName: "hdb",
    dataSourceName: "hdb://username:password@myserver:30015",
    query: "SELECT * FROM SCHEMA.TABLE",
)

SAP HANA data source name

The hdb driver uses the following DSN syntaxes (also known as a connection string):

hdb://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>?<connection-property>=<value>&<connection-property>=<value>&...
hdb://<user>:<password>@<host>:<port>?DATABASENAME=<tenant-db-name>
hdb://?KEY=<keyname>
