SAP HANA is a modern in-memory columnar database to capture, store, and query terabytes of data in real-time. Its
ability to simultaneously store (OLTP) and analyze (OLAP) large volumes of data gives developers a unique ability to
build advanced analytic applications that operates at scale in a real-time environment. With SAP HANA, you will be
able to:
Turbo-charge your applications
Accelerate under performing applications by delivering real-time insights and snappy user experience.
Leverage Ad-hoc Analytics
Legacy databases are mediocre at running analytics while inserting transaction data due to locking bottlenecks and
excruciating slow joins. SAP HANA One allows you manage and analyze large volumes of data even when it is flooded
with machine-generated data
Perform Multi-engine Query Processing
Use SQL to perform predictive, text and geospatial analytics by combining relational with unstructured text and
location data.
SAP HANA One is an instant delivery mechanism of SAP HANA in the cloud (available on AWS) with hourly pricing for
productive uses.
You can build amazing web or mobile applications by taking advantage of SAP HANA’s powerful advanced analytics ca-
pabilities like predictive, NLP (Natural Language Processing) and geospatial processing available right out-of-the-box.
No need to download, install or configure anything. The functionality is also available in a SQL programming paradigm
so it is very easy to learn and use. More than 1,200 startups have chosen SAP HANA to build their next-generation Big
Data, predictive or real-time analytic solutions.
The SAP HANA Cookbook provides real examples, code snippets and tutorials to help MySQL developers run advanced
in-memory analytics alongside their MySQL landscape.
We have created a cookbook to help you get maximum mileage out of your MySQL landscape by pairing it with
SAP HANA. Here’s a list of what you can do:
1. Run SAP HANA One side-by-side with MySQL
2. Use Open Source ETL to batch load MySQL data into SAP HANA One
3. Make your apps location-intelligent by running geospatial processing on SAP HANA One
4. Perform ad-hoc analytics with your MySQL data moved loaded on SAP HANA One
5. Leverage full-text search, natural language processing and sentiment intelligence in SAP HANA One
6. Build predictive applications using native or R algorithms using SAP HANA One
Launch Your HANA One Instance
As a developer, you can start with SAP HANA Developer edition which offers a free HANA license and lower
infrastructure cost. Once you are ready for production, you can switch to SAP HANA One. The following two videos
will walk you through the subscription and configuration of SAP HANA One on AWS Marketplace. Note, the process
is the same but newer versions may have minor differences in look and feel.

Use Open Source ETL to load MySQL Data into SAP HANA One
Once you have SAP HANA One up and running, you may need to bring your application data from MySQL to SAP
HANA. It is your choice which ETL tool to use to replicate your MySQL data into SAP HANA, try out one of the two
tools used to load data from MySQL to SAP HANA.

Leverage full-text search, natural language processing and sentiment intelligence
in SAP HANA One
See how I built a real-time movie rating app by using SAP HANA’s sentiment analysis capability on social media
(twitter, user forum) data.

Build predictive applications using native or R algorithms using SAP HANA One
SAP HANA integrates R language directly so it becomes really easy to write predictive algorithms using R’s abundant
external packages. We will use R’s recommenderlab to do movie recommendations. We also get many evaluation re-
sults from these different recommenders, so that we can choose the best recommender based on one specific training
dataset.
