In my previous blog posts, I wrote about GDAL with SAP HANA driver in OSGeo4W and how it enables GDAL utilities in the command line. During my SAP TechEd community session, we discussed as well the possibility of coding this in Python. “The GDAL project maintains generated Python bindings for GDAL and OGR. Generally speaking, the classes and....

SAP HANA has well known Row and Document Stores, allowing us to store relational data in Tables and process that data using HANA’s various engines including graph and spatial SAP HANA actually offers a third store – the JSON Document Store. With the SAP HANA Cloud Document Store (DocStore), we can store JSON Documents in Collections within HANA itself, then process that data using the same SAP HANA engines....
