[jira] [Comment Edited] (JENA-241) Add support for SAP database
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-241?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13497188#comment-13497188 ]

Hi all, apologies but there will be a delay in contributing this until SAP has put in place appropriate user support resources and opened HANA's JDBC driver to public use. A few months back when I originally posted this I filled in the right paperwork and made a few calls to start the ball rolling, but obviously HANA is proprietary technology and SAP is very careful about exposing APIs/integration before having proper support and customer care resources for the same in place. Since this would be considered a back end API/integration, they have asked me to hold back on submitting this until such a time as when this support will be in place. I am monitoring the situation but I do not have a timescale for when or if I would be allowed to submit this, and I can't really comment further. In fairness, I can see the company's point of view: somewhere there is an IT support guy who would suddenly be bombarded with user support requests for a component he has never heard of and never agreed to support. This was brought home to me today when I received my first request for further assistance by email based on this Jira issue (thanks for the email, I will respond pointing back to this comment). I wish this could be faster or that I could be more help.

> Key: JENA-241
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-241
> Project: Apache Jena
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: SDB
> Affects Versions: SDB 1.3.5
> Reporter: Fergal Monaghan
> Assignee: Rob Vesse
> Attachments: JENA-SDB-HANA-applied.patch, JENA-SDB-HANA.patch
>
> Original Estimate: 48h
> Remaining Estimate: 48h
>
> I would like to contribute my complete and tested patch to make SDB compatible with SAP's new in-memory, column-store (-possible) database codenamed HANA. I followed the instructions here [1] to the letter, created the patch and tested by applying it cleanly. Now I can run SPARQL endpoints on top of SAP's DB, and I'd like everyone else to be able to do this too. I just need to check with SAP legal before I attach the patch to this issue as described at [1]. Keep up the good work guys!
