Write to SAP HANA

To write data to SAP HANA with Flux:

1. Import the sql package.

2. Pipe-forward data into sql.to() and provide the following parameters:

   • driverName: hdb
   • dataSourceName: See data source name
   • table: Table to write to
   • batchSize: Number of parameters or columns that can be queued within each call to Exec (default is 10000)

import "sql"
  
data
    |> sql.to(
        driverName: "hdb",
        dataSourceName: "hdb://username:password@myserver:30015",
        table: "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>

Flux to SAP HANA data type conversion

sql.to() converts Flux data types to SAP HANA data types.
