SAP HANA is a modern, in-memory database and platform that is deployable on-premise or in the cloud. SAP HANA (In memory) Database supports a wide variety of interfaces: ODBC (for C/C++ based programs), JDBC (for Java applications), ODBO (for analytic applications), and internally the Python DBAPI and SQLDBC.
SAP HANA Database Interfaces provide the implementation layer between the SAP HANA Database and the application. The supported interfaces components provide a database access Application Programming Interface (API) for their respective language and environment. For some interface components, the API is defined by a standards body or an application.
