Executing SQL Statements in SAP HANA Studio

SQL Console can be opened by selecting the Schema name, in which, a new table has to be created using System View SQL Editor option or by a right-clicking the Schema name as shown in the following screenshot.

Open SQL Console

Once SQL Editor is opened, Schema name can be confirmed from the name written on the top of SQL Editor. You can create database objects using SQL statement.

To create a table −

Create column Table Test1 ( 
   ID INTEGER, 
   NAME VARCHAR(10), 
   PRIMARY KEY (ID) 
);

In this SQL statement, we have created a Column table “Test1”, defined data types of the table and the Primary Key.

Once you write Create table SQL query, click the Execute option on top of SQL editor on the right side of the screen. Once the statement is executed, we will get a confirmation message as follows −

Statement 'Create column Table Test1 (ID INTEGER,NAME VARCHAR(10), PRIMARY KEY (ID))' successfully executed in 13 ms 761 μs (server processing time: 12 ms 979 μs) − Rows Affected: 0

Create Table

Insert statement is used to enter the data in the Table using SQL editor.

Insert into TEST1 Values (1,'ABCD')

Insert into TEST1 Values (2,'EFGH');

Click Execute.

You can right-click the Table name and use Open Data Definition to see the data type of the table. Open Data Preview/Open Content to see the table contents.
