ADBC Driver for SAP HANA

[senordeveloper]

Since SAP HANA is a columnar database this would be a great fit. From my perspective it is a huge pain to connect via ODBC (or JDBC)
Happy to hear your opinions.
Best,
Daniel

It's not out of the question!

@senordeveloper We built an ADBC driver for SAP HANA and are planning to pre-release it soon to get feedback from real HANA users. Are you interested in trying it out?

Hi @ianmcook, thank you for the offer. Would be happy to try it out. It depends a little bit on the setup of the infrastructure on our side but we would give it a try.

An ADBC driver for SAP HANA is now available as a pre-release from Columnar's private driver registry. To try it:

1. Install dbc
2. Run dbc auth login
3. Create an account and activate a trial
4. Run dbc install --pre sap-hana
