Query SAP HANA	SAP HANA	Use [`sql.from()`](/flux/v0.x/stdlib/sql/from/) with the `hdb` driver to query SAP HANA.	flux_0_x name parent SAP HANA SQL databases	101	/flux/v0.x/stdlib/sql/from/	```js import "sql" sql.from( driverName: "hdb", dataSourceName: "hdb://username:password@myserver:30015", query: "SELECT * FROM SCHEMA.TABLE", ) ```

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>

SAP HANA to Flux data type conversion

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

SAP HANA data type	Flux data type
TINYINT, SMALLINT, INTEGER, BIGINT	int
REAL, DOUBLE, DECIMAL	float
{{< req text="*" color="magenta" >}} TIMESTAMP	time

{{% caption %}} All other SAP HANA data types are converted to strings.
{{% /caption %}}

{{< req text="*" color="magenta" >}} The SAP HANA TIMESTAMP data type does not store time zone information and SAP strongly discourages storing data in the local time zone. For more information, see Timestamps in SAP HANA.
