1. Overview
This document will explain you, how to connect HANA database and table operations using python
language.

2. Prerequisites for HANA connectivity from Python

 Python latest software installation

 Install HANA client

 Install Python wheel package

https://pypi.org/project/hdbcli/2.9.23/#files

HANA & Python Page 3

3. HANA DB Connection parameters

 For HANA tenant databases, use the port number 3**NN**13 (where NN is the SAP instance
number - e.g. 30013).
 For HANA system databases in a multitenant system, the port number is 3**NN**13.
 For HANA single-tenant databases, the port number is 3**NN**15.

#Following is the example of connecting to database

#Import module
from hdbcli import dbapi
#Open the database conenciton
conn = dbapi.connect(address="<hostname/IP>", port=3<NN>MM,user="<username>",
password="<password>"
)
# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method
cursor = conn.cursor()

# disconnect from server

conn.close()
Example:

#!Update data in table dyanamically

from hdbcli import dbapi
# Open database connection
conn = dbapi.connect(address="##.##.##.##", port=30215,user="SYSTEM", password="Test#123")

HANA & Python Page 4

4. Table creation
#!Let us create Database table EMPLOYEE:

# Create table statement

tabdef= "CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE (SL_NO AS INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,NAME CHAR(20) NOT NULL, ), AGE INT,
SEX CHAR(1), SALARY FLOAT )”

Example: ######

#!Zemployee table
from hdbcli import dbapi
# Open database connection
conn = dbapi.connect(address="##.##.##.##", port=30215,user="SYSTEM", password="Test#123")

# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method

cursor = conn.cursor()

cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE SAPHANADB.ZEMPLOYEE (SL_NO INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,NAME CHAR(20) NOT

NULL, AGE INT, SEX CHAR(1), SALARY FLOAT)")

cursor.close()
conn.close()

######

HANA & Python Page 5

5. Data Insert operation
Using below program you can update the records in to table

Below example statements will insert records in to zemployee table

sql = "INSERT INTO SAPHANADB.ZEMPLOYEE (SL_NO, NAME, AGE, SEX, SALARY) VALUES (1,'Ram Kumar', 30, 'M', 20000)"

Example Program:
# !Update data in table dyanamically
from hdbcli import dbapi
# Open database connection
conn = dbapi.connect(address="##.##.##.##", port=30215,user="SYSTEM", password="Test#123")

# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method

cursor = conn.cursor()

# Prepare SQL query to INSERT a record into the database.

sql= 'INSERT INTO SAPHANADB.ZEMPLOYEE (SL_NO, NAME, AGE, SEX, SALARY) VALUES (:sn, :nm, :ag, :sx, :sl )'
sn = input("Enter your Serial No :")
nm = input("Enter your Name :")
ag = input("Enter your Age :")
sx = input("Enter your SEX :")
sl = input("Enter your Salary :")

# Execute the SQL command

cursor.execute(sql, {"sn": sn, "nm": nm, "ag": ag, "sx": sx, "sl": sl})

# Commit your changes in the database

conn.commit()

# disconnect database
conn.close()

 ###: Below example will insert records in employee table dynamically

#!Update data in table dyanamically – Begind program

from hdbcli import dbapi
# Open database connection
conn = dbapi.connect(address="##.##.##.##", port=30215,user="SYSTEM", password="Test#123")
cursor = conn.cursor()
sql= 'SELECT * FROM SAPHANADB.ZEMPLOYEE WHERE SL_NO = :id'
#print(sql)
sn=input("Enter Serial No to update : ")
cursor.execute(sql, {"id": sn})
True
row = cursor.fetchone()
print(row)
v=input("which fields do you want to update 1.Name, 2. Age, 3. Sex, 4. Salaray: Enter No:")

#Write functions
def one():
name=input("Enter correct name: ")
sql1= 'UPDATE SAPHANADB.ZEMPLOYEE SET NAME = :name where SL_NO = :sl'
cursor.execute(sql1, {"name": name, "sl":sn})
def two():
ag=input("Enter correct Age: ")
sql1= 'UPDATE SAPHANADB.ZEMPLOYEE SET AGE = :age where SL_NO = :sl'
cursor.execute(sql1, {"age": ag, "sl":sn})
def three():
sx=input("Enter correct Sex: ")
sql1= 'UPDATE SAPHANADB.ZEMPLOYEE SET SEX = :sex where SL_NO = :sl'
cursor.execute(sql1, {"sex": sx, "sl":sn})
def four():
sal=input("Enter correct Salary: ")
sql1= 'UPDATE SAPHANADB.ZEMPLOYEE SET SALARY = :salary where SL_NO = :sl'
cursor.execute(sql1, {"salary": sal, "sl":sn})

#conditions
if v == '1':
one()
elif v== '2':
two()
elif v== '3':
three()
elif v== '4':
four()
# print(v)

 sql2= 'SELECT * FROM SAPHANADB.ZEMPLOYEE WHERE SL_NO = :id'
cursor.execute(sql2, {"id": sn})
True
row = cursor.fetchone()
print(row)

###End

6. Delete Row from table

Delete single records using below program

#!Update data in table dyanamically

from hdbcli import dbapi
# Open database connection
conn = dbapi.connect(address="##.##.##.##", port=30215,user="SYSTEM", password="Test#123")
cursor = conn.cursor()
sql= 'DELETE FROM SAPHANADB.ZEMPLOYEE WHERE SL_NO = :id'
#print(sql)
sn=input("Enter Serial No to Delete record : ")
cursor.execute(sql, {"id": sn})
True
cursor.close()

7. Select Particular row
Using below program, you can select particular records

#!Select particular record

from hdbcli import dbapi
# Open database connection
conn = dbapi.connect(address="##.##.##.##", port=30215,user="SYSTEM", password="Test#123")
# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method
cursor = conn.cursor()
sql= 'SELECT * FROM SAPHANADB.ZEMPLOYEE WHERE SL_NO = :id'

sn=input("Enter Serial No to update : ")

cursor.execute(sql, {"id": sn})
True
row = cursor.fetchone()
print(row)

8. Select all rows

Using below program, you can fetch all records

#!Select all records

from hdbcli import dbapi
# Open database connection
conn = dbapi.connect(address="##.##.##.##", port=30215,user="SYSTEM", password="Test#123")
sql = 'SELECT * FROM SAPHANADB.ZEMPLOYEE'
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute(sql)
True
result = cursor.fetchall()
for row in result:
sn = row[0]
nm = row[1]
age = row[2]
sex = row[3]
sl = row[4]
# Now print fetched result
print(sn, nm, age, sex, sl)

Output:

9. Table deletion
Using below program, you can fetch all records

#!Drop zemployee table

from hdbcli import dbapi
# Open database connection
conn = dbapi.connect(address="##.##.##.##", port=30215,user="SYSTEM", password="Test#123")
# prepare a cursor object using cursor() method
cursor = conn.cursor()
# Dropping tables
cursor.execute("DROP TABLE SAPHANADB.ZEMPLOYEE")

cursor.close()
conn.close()
