OFFSET skips the first n rows of the selected dataset. LIMIT of course defines the number of rows to be returned after the OFFSET has been applied. LIMIT and OFFSET have been supported by SQL in SAP HANA for quite some time, but now in SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 0, we can now use them within the context of CDS when defining views. Again, this concatenation is done during INSERT, and the value is stored in the physical table. The value of this column is defined as the concatenation of the CITY and POSTALCODE columns. In the code sample below, we see that there is a new column called CITY_POSTALCODE which is a string. The element which is defined, corresponds to a field in the database table that is persisted and has an actual value, not calculated on the fly. In SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 0, we also now support the use of GENERATE ALWAYS AS which allows you to create calculated columns. In the code sample below, we see that the ADDRESSID column is auto-incremented by 1 starting at 1000000001. Using the ALWAYS keyword, means that the value will always be generated, but if you use the BY DEFAULT, the value is generated but can actually be overridden. During deploy-time, a sequence is actually generated for you automatically. Now in SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 0, we have the ability to define this configuration directly in the CDS artifact itself. hdbsequence in order to manage the auto-increment configuration.

Previously, if you wanted to auto-increment a key field, you had to create a separate artifact, an. The first new feature for CDS is the GENERATE AS IDENTITY clause when defining entities within a CDS artifact. If you are interested in the new features for XS Advanced(XSA), or the SAP WebIDE for SAP HANA, please check out this blog by my colleague Thomas Jung. We will focus more on the database development topic including Core Data Services, as well as SQLScript. It was originally meant for mapping between a DualShock 4 and a virtual Xbox 360 controller to add support for the controller to games that only allow for XInput, IM now supports numerous input devices and mapping to numerous output devices.Ĭoupled with advanced macro and customization options, InputMapper gives users the ability to not only change the device type but how inputs are transformed and applied.In this blog, I would like to introduce you to the new features for the database developer in SAP HANA 2.0 SPS 0. What InputMapper does is take the original goals of DSDCS’s DS4Windows and expands on them to make a more well-rounded app. InputMapper is a Windows application designed for the mapping of input/output devices to other input/output devices.
