How can I connect SAP Hana DB to metabase?
There’s no driver for SAP HANA at the moment, but Google finds several third-party connectivity providers that can convert/proxy HANA to a Metabase-supported database format.
Another way is to use database link capabilities in SQL Server to proxy to HANA. The method is explained in this post.
I’d be interested to hear why you’re not looking at SAC. Is it functionality or price?
As an ex-SAP reseller, I’m always interested in the SAP market.
I didn’t want to push Athena for this as Athena is expensive to use as a translation layer, especially with how chatty Metabase is with databases. I don’t know if the Athena connector suppresses or bypasses some of the usual periodic jobs that spin the meter even if nobody is logged into Metabase.
On the other hand, if you’re running HANA in AWS, then Athena’s costs are the least of your worries.
